IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
IMPROVEMENTS:
12
13
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
14
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
BUGFIXES:
18
19
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
20
loaded.
21
(Martin Pool, #205230)
22
23
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
24
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
25
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
26
(Martin Pool, #240161)
27
28
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
29
name contains an @.
30
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
31
32
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
33
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
34
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
35
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
36
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
37
38
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
39
(Martin Pool, #172870)
40
41
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
42
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
43
44
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
45
Cygwin Bazaar.
46
(Matt McClure, #209281)
47
48
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
49
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
50
51
DOCUMENTATION:
52
53
* Updated developer documentation.
54
(Martin Pool)
55
56
TESTING:
57
58
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
59
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
60
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
61
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
62
63
API CHANGES:
64
65
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
66
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
67
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
73
-----------------------
74
75
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
76
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
77
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
78
now faster.
79
80
BUG FIXES:
81
82
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
83
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
84
reading from the repository.)
85
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
86
87
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
88
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
89
90
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
91
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
92
(Andrew Bennetts)
93
94
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
95
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
96
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
97
98
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
99
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
100
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
101
102
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
103
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
104
105
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
106
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
107
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
108
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
109
110
IMPROVEMENTS:
111
112
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
113
114
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
115
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
116
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
117
(Adrian Wilkins)
118
119
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
120
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
121
122
DOCUMENTATION:
123
124
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
125
126
TESTING:
127
128
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
129
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
130
131
API CHANGES:
132
133
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
134
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
135
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
136
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
137
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
138
139
INTERNALS:
140
141
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
142
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
143
144
145
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
146
-----------------------
147
148
149
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
150
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
151
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
152
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
153
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
154
and future extensions.
155
156
157
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
158
159
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
160
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
161
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
162
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
163
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
164
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
165
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
166
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
167
168
CHANGES:
169
170
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
171
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
172
(John Arbash Meinel)
173
174
FEATURES:
175
176
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
177
load. (James Westby)
178
179
IMPROVEMENTS:
180
181
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
182
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
183
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
184
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
185
186
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
187
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
188
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
189
190
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
191
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
192
193
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
194
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
195
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
196
197
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
198
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
199
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
200
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
201
step closer to not using full revision history.
202
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
203
204
BUGFIXES:
205
206
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
207
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
208
209
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
210
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
211
212
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
213
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
214
215
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
216
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
217
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
218
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
219
220
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
221
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
222
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
223
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
224
225
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
226
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
227
in use by another process.
228
(Martin Pool)
229
230
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
231
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
232
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
233
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
234
235
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
236
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
237
238
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
239
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
241
242
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
243
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
245
246
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
247
them.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
249
250
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
251
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
252
253
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
254
under vim on Mac OS X.
255
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
256
257
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
258
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
259
260
DOCUMENTATION:
261
262
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
263
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
264
265
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
266
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
267
(Ian Clatworthy)
268
269
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
270
and about use of Python reprs.
271
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
272
273
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
274
275
TESTING:
276
277
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
278
(Robert Collins)
279
280
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
281
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
282
283
* New helper function for splitting test suites
284
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
285
286
INTERNALS:
287
288
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
289
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
290
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
291
(John Arbash Meinel)
292
293
API CHANGES:
294
295
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
296
instead. (Martin Pool)
297
298
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
299
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
300
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
301
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
302
303
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
304
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
305
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
306
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
307
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
308
309
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
310
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
311
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
312
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
313
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
314
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
315
316
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
317
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
318
(Martin Pool)
319
320
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
321
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
322
(Robert Collins)
323
324
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
325
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
326
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
327
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
328
329
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
330
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
331
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
333
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
334
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
335
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
336
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
337
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
338
(Martin Pool)
339
340
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
341
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
342
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
343
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
344
(Robert Collins)
345
346
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
347
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
348
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
349
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
350
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
351
352
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
353
(Martin Pool)
354
355
356
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
357
------------------
358
359
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
360
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
361
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
362
363
CHANGES:
364
365
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
366
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
367
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
368
369
DOCUMENTATION:
370
371
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
372
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
373
(Ian Clatworthy)
374
375
376
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
377
---------------------
378
379
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
380
381
CHANGES:
382
383
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
384
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
385
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
386
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
387
388
FEATURES:
389
390
IMPROVEMENTS:
391
392
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
393
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
394
395
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
396
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
397
398
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
399
(Aaron Bentley)
400
401
BUGFIXES:
402
403
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
405
406
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
407
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
408
409
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
410
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
411
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
412
413
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
414
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
415
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
416
417
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
418
(Andreas Deininger)
419
420
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
422
423
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
424
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
425
426
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
427
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
428
429
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
430
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
431
432
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
433
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
435
436
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
437
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
438
439
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
440
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
441
442
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
443
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
444
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
445
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
446
447
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
448
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
449
(Martin Pool)
450
451
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
452
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
453
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
454
455
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
456
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
457
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
458
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
459
every revision each side had in common.
460
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
461
462
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
463
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
464
465
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
466
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
467
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
468
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
469
470
DOCUMENTATION:
471
472
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
473
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
474
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
475
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
476
477
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
478
479
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
480
481
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
483
484
TESTING:
485
486
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
487
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
488
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
489
490
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
491
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
492
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
493
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
494
495
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
496
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
497
498
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
499
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
500
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
501
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
502
503
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
504
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
505
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
506
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
507
508
INTERNALS:
509
510
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
511
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
512
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
513
514
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
515
516
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
517
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
518
519
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
520
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
521
522
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
523
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
524
525
API CHANGES:
526
527
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
528
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
529
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
530
531
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
532
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
533
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
534
(Aaron Bentley)
535
536
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
537
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
538
(Martin Pool)
539
540
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
545
------------------
546
547
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
548
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
549
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
550
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
551
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
552
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
553
and faster performance.
554
555
BUG FIXES:
556
557
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
558
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
559
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

564
---------------------
565
566
BUG FIXES:
567
568
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
569
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
570
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
571
572
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
573
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
574
575
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
576
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
577
578
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
579
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
580
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
581
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
582
every revision each side had in common.

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
587
---------------------
588
589
CHANGES:
590
591
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
592
593
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
594
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
595
596
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
597
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
598
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
599
600
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
601
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
602
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
603
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
604
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
605
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
606
Andrew Cowie)
607
608
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
609
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
610
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
611
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
612
613
FEATURES:
614
615
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
616
617
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
618
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
619
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
620
621
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
622
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
623
See the User Reference for signature details.
624
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
625
626
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
627
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
628
629
IMPROVEMENTS:
630
631
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
632
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
633
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
634
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
635
636
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
637
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
638
639
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
640
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
641
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
642
Wouter van Heyst)
643
644
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
645
(Chad Miller)
646
647
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
648
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
649
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
650
651
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
652
(Aaron Bentley)
653
654
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
655
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
656
657
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
658
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
659
660
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
661
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
662
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
663
664
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
665
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
666
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
667
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
668
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
669
670
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
671
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
672
673
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
674
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
675
676
BUGFIXES:
677
678
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
679
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
680
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
681
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
682
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
683
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
684
685
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
686
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
687
688
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
689
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
690
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
691
692
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
693
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
694
695
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
696
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
697
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
698
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
699
700
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
701
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
702
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
703
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
704
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
705
706
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
707
708
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
709
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
710
711
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
712
713
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
714
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
715
716
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
717
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
718
719
DOCUMENTATION:
720
721
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
722
723
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
724
725
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
726
727
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
728
729
API BREAKS:
730
731
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
732
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
733
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
734
735
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
736
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
737
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
738
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
739
740
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
741
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
742
release. (James Westby)
743
744
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
745
(Andrew Bennetts)
746
747
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
748
749
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
750
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
751
752
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
753
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
754
755
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
756
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
757
758
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
759
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
760
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
761
762
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
763
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
764
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
765
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
766
767
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
768
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
769
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
770
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
771
772
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
773
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
774
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
775
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
776
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
777
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
778
779
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
780
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
781
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
782
783
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
784
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
785
786
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
787
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
788
(Robert Collins)
789
790
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
791
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
792
793
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
794
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
797
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
798
799
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
800
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
801
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
802
803
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
804
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
805
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
806
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
807
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
808
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
809
810
TESTING:
811
812
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
813
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
814
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
815
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
816
817
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
818
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
819
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
820
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
821
implement this).
822
(Vincent Ladeuil)
823
824
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
825
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
826
(Vincent Ladeuil)
827
828
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
829
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
830
831
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
832
833
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
834
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
835
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
836
837
INTERNALS:
838
839
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
842
(Martin Albisetti)
843
844
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
845
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
846
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
847
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
848
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
849
(Martin Pool, #109520)
850
851
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
852
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
853
854
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
855
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
856
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
857
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
858
859
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
860
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
861
862
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
863
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

886
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
887
888
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
889
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
890
features have been added.

* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
905
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
906
907
CHANGES:
908
909
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
910
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
911
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
912
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
913
(Robert Collins)
914
915
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
916
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
917
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
918
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
919
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
920
(Alexander Belchenko)
921
922
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
923
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
924
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
925
(Alexander Belchenko)
926
927
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
928
929
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
930
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
931
932
FEATURES:
933
934
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
935
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
936
937
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
938
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
939
(Jelmer Vernooij)
940
941
IMPROVEMENTS:
942
943
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
944
945
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
946
947
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
948
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
949
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
950
951
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
952
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
953
954
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
955
to. (Daniel Watkins)
956
957
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
958
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
959
(Alexander Belchenko)
960
961
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
962
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
963
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
964
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
965
966
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
967
(Daniel Watkins)
968
969
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
970
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
971
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
972
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
973
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
974
975
BUGFIXES:
976
977
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
978
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
979
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
980
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
981
982
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
983
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
984
985
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
986
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
987
988
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
989
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
990
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
991
992
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
993
(#198793, John Ferlito)
994
995
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
996
#196618)
997
998
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
999
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1000
1001
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1002
1003
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1004
1005
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1006
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1007
1008
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1009
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1010
1011
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1012
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1013
1014
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1015
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1016
1017
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1018
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1019
1020
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1021
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1022
1023
DOCUMENTATION:
1024
1025
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1026
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1027
1028
API BREAKS:
1029
1030
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1031
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1032
(Alexander Belchenko)
1033
1034
TESTING:
1035
1036
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1037
1038
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1039
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1040
(Robert Collins)
1041
1042
INTERNALS:
1043
1044
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1045
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1046
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1047
1048
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1049
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1050
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1051
(Alexander Belchenko)
1052
1053
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1054
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1055
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1056
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1059
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1060
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1061
(Robert Collins)
1062
1063
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1064
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1065
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1066
1067
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1068
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1069
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1070
1071
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1072
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1073
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1074
format. (Robert Collins)

1088
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1089
1090
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1091
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1092
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1093
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1094
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1095
(Andrew Bennetts)
1096
1097
CHANGES:
1098
1099
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1100
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1101
1102
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1103
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1104
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1105
1106
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1107
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1108
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1109
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1110
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1111
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1112
(Aaron Bentley)
1113
1114
FEATURES:
1115
1116
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1117
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1118
1119
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1120
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1121
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1122
(Robert Collins)
1123
1124
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1125
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1126
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1127
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1128
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1129
1130
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1131
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1132
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1133
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1134
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1135
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1136
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1137
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1138
1139
IMPROVEMENTS:
1140
1141
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1142
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1145
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1146
1147
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1148
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1149
1150
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1151
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1152
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1153
1154
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1155
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1156
(John Arbash Meinel)
1157
1158
BUGFIXES:
1159
1160
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1161
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1162
1163
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1164
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1165
1166
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1167
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1168
1169
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1170
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1171
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1172
1173
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1174
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1175
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1176
1177
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1178
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1179
1180
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1181
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1182
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1183
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1184
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1185
unittest runner.
1186
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1187
1188
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1189
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1190
#185907)
1191
1192
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1193
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1194
1195
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1196
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1197
1198
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1200
1201
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1202
more characters which should be considered valid.
1203
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1204
1205
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1206
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1207
1208
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1209
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1210
1211
API BREAKS:
1212
1213
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1214
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1217
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1218
(Martin Pool)
1219
1220
TESTING:
1221
1222
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1223
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1224
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1225
1226
INTERNALS:
1227
1228
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1229
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1230
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1233
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1234
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1235
1236
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1237
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1238
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1239
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1242
1243
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1244
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1245
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1246
server. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1249
operate. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1252
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1253
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1256
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1257
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1258
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1259
1260
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1261
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1262
1263
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1264
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1265
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1268
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1269
1270
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1271
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1272
1273
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1274
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1275
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1276
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1277

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1283
1284
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1285
---------------------
1286
1287
CHANGES:
1288
1289
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1290
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1291
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1292
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1293
1294
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1295
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1296
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1297
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1298
1299
FEATURES:
1300
1301
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1302
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1303
1304
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1305
(Aaron Bentley)
1306
1307
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1308
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1309
1310
IMPROVEMENTS:
1311
1312
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1313
#90049)
1314
1315
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1316
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1317
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1318
1319
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1320
1321
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1322
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1323
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1324
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1325
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1326
1327
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1328
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1329
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1330
1331
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1332
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1333
1334
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1335
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1336
1337
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
1339
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1340
1341
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1342
(Aaron Bentley)
1343
1344
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1345
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1346
1347
BUGFIXES:
1348
1349
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1350
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1351
1352
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1354
1355
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1356
(Aaron Bentley)
1357
1358
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1359
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1360
1361
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1362
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1363
1364
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1365
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1366
1367
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1368
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1369
1370
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1371
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1372
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1373
1374
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1376
1377
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1378
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1379
(Aaron Bentley)
1380
1381
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1384
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1386
1387
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1388
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1389
1390
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1391
(Aaron Bentley)
1392
1393
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1394
#148087)

1399
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1400
#137681)
1401

1415
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1416
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1417
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1418
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1419
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1420
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)

* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1435
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1436
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1437
Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1440
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1441
1442
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

TESTING:
1448
1449
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``

attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1451
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1454
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1455
(Robert Collins)
1456
1457
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1458
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1459

1461
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1462
1463
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1464
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1467
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1468
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1471
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1472
1473
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1474
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1477
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1478
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1479
1480
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1481
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1482
1483
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is

BUGFIXES:
1515
1516
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1517
1518
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1519
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1520
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1521
feedback but also incur more latency.
1522
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1523

* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1548
1549
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1550
(Aaron Bentley)
1551
1552
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1553
Nordhoff, #172612)
1554
1555
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1556
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1557
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1558
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1559
1560
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1561
(Kent Gibson)
1562
1563
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1564
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1565
1566
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1567
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1568
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1569
1570
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1571
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1572
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1573
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1574
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1575
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1576
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1577
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1578
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1579

1593
filename to user.
1594
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1595
1596
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1597
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1598
required.
1599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1600
1601
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1602
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1603
1604
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1605
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1606
1607

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1614
---------------------
1615
1616
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1617
1618
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1619
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1620
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1621
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1622
1623
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1624
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1625
1626
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1627
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1628
1629
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1630
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1631
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1632
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1633
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1634
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1635
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1636
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1637
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1638
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1639
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1640
from any tree without problems.
1641
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1642
1643
CHANGES:
1644
1645
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1646
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1647
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1648
1649
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1650
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1651
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1652
(Martin Pool)
1653
1654
FEATURES:
1655
1656
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1657
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1658
supported transports.
1659
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1660
1661
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1662
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1663
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1664
1665
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1666
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1667
1668
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1669
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1670
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1671
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1672
1673
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1674
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
PERFORMANCE:
1677
1678
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1679
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1680
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1681
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1682
1683
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1684
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1685
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1686
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1687
1688
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1689
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1690
1691
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1692
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1695
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1696
1697
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1698
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1699
(Aaron Bentley)
1700
1701
IMPROVEMENTS:
1702
1703
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1704
(Aaron Bentley)
1705
1706
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1707
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1708
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1709
1710
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1711
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1712
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1713
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1714
1715
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1716
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1717
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1718
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1728
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1729
1730
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1731
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1732
1733
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1735
1736
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1737
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1738
1739
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1743
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1746
(Aaron Bentley)
1747
1748
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1750
1751
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1752
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1754
1755
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1756
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1757
1758
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1759
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1760
1761
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1762
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1766
1767
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1768
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1769
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1770
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1771
on them.
1772
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1773
1774
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1775
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1777
1778
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1779
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1780
1781
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1782
to be reconciled.
1783
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1784
1785
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1786
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1787
1788
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1789
specify a port in urls.
1790
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1791
1792
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1793
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1794
1795
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1796
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1797
1798
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1799
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1800
1801
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1802

1803
1804
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1805
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1806
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1807
1808
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1809
1810
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1811
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1812
1813
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1814
Watkins, #152811)
1815
1816
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1817
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1818
1819
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1820
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1821
1822
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1823
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1824
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1825
1826
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1827
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1828
1829
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1830
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1831
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1832
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1833
1834
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1835
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1836
1837
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1838
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1839
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1840
1841
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1842
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1843
1844
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1846
1847
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1848
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1849
1850
API BREAKS:
1851
1852
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1853
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1854
1855
* The return value of
1856
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1857
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1858
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1859
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1860
1861
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1862
(Robert Collins)
1863
1864
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1865
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1866
format.

1870
1871
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1872
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1873
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1874
Bennetts)
1875
1876
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1877
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1878
1879
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1896
1897
CHANGES:
1898
1899
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1900
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1901
1902
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1903
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1904
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1905
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1906
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1907
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1908
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1909
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1910
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1911
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1912
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1913
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1914
(Robert Collins)
1915
1916
FEATURES:
1917
1918
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1919
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1920
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1921
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1922
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1923
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1926
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1927
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1928
(Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1931
1932
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1933
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1934
1935
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1936
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1937
(Aaron Bentley)
1938
1939
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1940
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1941
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1942
1943
PERFORMANCE:
1944
1945
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1946
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1947
1948
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1949
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1950
1951
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1952
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1953
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1954
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1957
(Robert Collins)
1958
1959
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1960
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1961
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1962
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1963
1964
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1965
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1966
1967
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1968
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1969
1970
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1971
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1974
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1975
1976
IMPROVEMENTS:
1977
1978
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1979
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1980
1981
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1982
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1983
1984
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1985
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1986
1987
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1988
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1989
1990
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1991
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
1993
DOCUMENTATION:
1994
1995
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1996
1997
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1998
(Ian Clatworthy)
1999
2000
BUG FIXES:
2001
2002
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2003
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2004
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2005
2006
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2007
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2008
2009
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2010
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2011
2012
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2013
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2014
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2015
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2016
2017
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2018
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2019
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2020
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2021
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2022
2023
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2024
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2025
paramiko.
2026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2027
2028
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2029
2030
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2031
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2032
2033
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2035
2036
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2037
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2038
2039
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2040
contains a symbolic link.
2041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2042
2043
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2044
(James Westby, #140615)
2045
2046
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2047
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2049
2050
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2051
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2052
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2053
2054
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2055
2056
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2058
2059
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2060
will remain opened.
2061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2062
2063
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2064
directory to detect leaking tests.
2065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2066
2067
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2068
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2069
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2070
2071
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2072
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2073
2074
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2075
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2076
2077
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2078
Merwe)
2079
2080
API BREAKS:
2081
2082
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2083
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2084
2085
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2086
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2087
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2088
2089
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2090
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2091
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2092
2093
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2094
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2095
2096
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2097
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2098
2099
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2100
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2101
(Martin Pool)
2102
2103
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2104
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2105
2106
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2107
class that needs it.
2108
(Martin Pool)
2109
2110
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2111
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2112
2113
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2114
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2115
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2116
2117
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2118
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2119
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2120
(Robert Collins)
2121
2122
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2123
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2124
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2125
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2126
(Robert Collins)
2127
2128
INTERNALS:
2129
2130
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2131
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2132
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2133
2134
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2135
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2136
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2137
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2140
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2141
(Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2144
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2145
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2146
2147
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2148
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2149
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2152
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2155
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2156
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2157
2158
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2159
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2162
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2163
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2164
2165
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2166
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2167
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2168
2169
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2170
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2171
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2172
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2175
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2176
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2177
returned. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2180
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2181
2182
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2183
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2184
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2185
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2186
(Robert Collins)
2187
2188
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2189
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2190
2191
TESTING:
2192
2193
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2194
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2195
2196
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2197
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2198
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2199
makes this behavior available to other users.
2200
(Martin Pool)
2201
2202
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2203
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2204
2205
2206
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2207
-------------------
2208
2209
BUG FIXES:
2210
2211
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2212
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2213
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2214
2215
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2216
2217
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2218
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2219
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2220
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2221
2222
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2223
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2224
(Andrew Bennetts)
2225
2226
2227
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2228
----------------------
2229
2230
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2231
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2232
2233
2234
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2235
----------------------
2236
2237
CHANGES:
2238
2239
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2240
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2241
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2242
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2243
(Martin Pool)
2244
2245
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2246
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2247
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2248
(Ian Clatworthy)
2249
2250
FEATURES:
2251
2252
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2253
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2254
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2255
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2256
2257
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2258
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2259
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2260
2261
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2262
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2263
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2264
2265
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2266
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2267
2268
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2269
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2270
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2271
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2272
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2273
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2274
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2275
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2276
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2277
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2278
2279
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2280
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2281
2282
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2283
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2284
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2285
2286
BUG FIXES:
2287
2288
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2289
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2290
2291
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2292
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2293
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2296
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2297
2298
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2299
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2300
2301
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2302
(Aaron Bentley)
2303
2304
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2305
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2306
2307
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2308
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2309
2310
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2311
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2312
2313
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2314
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2315
2316
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2317
2318
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2319
Watkins, #106726)
2320
2321
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2322
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2323
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2324
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2325
2326
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2327
2328
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2329
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2330
#133548)
2331
2332
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2333
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2334
2335
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2336
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2337
#116143)
2338
2339
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2340
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2341
2342
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2343
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2344
2345
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2346
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2347
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2348
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2349
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2350
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2351
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2352
2353
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2354
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2355
2356
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2357
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2358
2359
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2360
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2361
2362
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2364
2365
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2366
connections.
2367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2368
2369
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2370
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2371
2372
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2373
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2374
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2375
2376
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2377
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2378
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2379
2380
IMPROVEMENTS:
2381
2382
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2383
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2384
2385
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2386
(Aaron Bentley)
2387
2388
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2389
(Aaron Bentley)
2390
2391
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2392
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2393
2394
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2395
2396
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2397
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2398
2399
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2400
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2401
2402
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2403
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2404
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2405
space). (Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2408
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2409
(Ian Clatworthy)
2410
2411
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2412
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2413
2414
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2415
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2416
2417
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2418
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2419
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2420
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2421
2422
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2423
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2424
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2425
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2426
2427
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2428
(Ian Clatworthy)
2429
2430
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2431
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2432
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2433
2434
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2435
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2436
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2437
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2438
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2439
2440
API BREAKS:
2441
2442
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2443
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2444
2445
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2446
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2447
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2448
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2449
affected. (Robert Collins)
2450
2451
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2452
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2453
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2454
(Robert Collins)
2455
2456
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2457
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2458
2459
TESTING:
2460
2461
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2462
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2463
2464
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2465
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2468
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2469
2470
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2471
(Aaron Bentley)
2472
2473
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2474
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2475
2476
INTERNALS:
2477
2478
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2479
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2480
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2481
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2484
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2485
2486
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2487
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2488
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2489
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2490
2491
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2492
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2493
present. (Robert Collins)
2494
2495
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2496
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2497
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2498
API. (Robert Collins)
2499
2500
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2501
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2502
(Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2505
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2506
2507
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2508
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2509
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2510
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2511
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2512
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2515
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2516
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2517
2518
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2519
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2520
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2521
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2522
protocol.
2523
2524
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2525
(Aaron Bentley)
2526
2527
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2528
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2529
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2530
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2531
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2532
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2533
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2534
2535
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2536
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2537
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2538
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2539
2540
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2541
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2542
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2543
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2544
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2545
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2546
2547
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2548
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2549
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2552
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2553
2554
2555
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2556
-------------------
2557
2558
IMPROVEMENTS:
2559
2560
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2561
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2562
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2563
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2564
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2565
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2566
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2567
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2568
2569
2570
API CHANGES:
2571
2572
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2573
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2574
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2575
2576
2577
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2578
----------------------
2579
2580
BUGFIXES:
2581
2582
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2583
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2584
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2585
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2586
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2587
2588
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2590
2591
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2592
anymore.
2593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2594
2595
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2596
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2597
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2598
2599
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2600
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2601
#111664)
2602
2603
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2604
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2605
2606
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2607
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2608
2609
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2610
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2611
2612
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2613
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2614
2615
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2616
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2617
2618
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2619
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2622
(Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
IMPROVEMENTS:
2625
2626
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2627
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2628
2629
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2630
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2631
2632
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2633
the repository (Robert Collins)
2634
2635
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2636
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2637
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2638
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2639
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2640
2641
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2642
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2643
2644
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2645
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2646
(John Arbash Meinel)
2647
2648
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2649
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2650
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2651
about 10%).
2652
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2653
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2654
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2655
(John Arbash Meinel)
2656
2657
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2658
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2659
(Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2662
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2663
2664
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2665
(Ian Clatworthy)
2666
2667
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2668
2669
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2670
2671
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2672
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2673
2674
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2675
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2676
Meinel)
2677
2678
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2679
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2680
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2681
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2682
2683
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2684
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2685
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2686
2687
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2688
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2689
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2690
2691
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2692
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2693
2694
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2695
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2696
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2697
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2698
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2699
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2700
(Ian Clatworthy)
2701
2702
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2703
(Alexander Belchenko)
2704
2705
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2706
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2707
2708
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2709
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2710
2711
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2712
2713
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2714
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2715
2716
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2717
2718
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2719
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2720
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2721
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2722
2723
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2726
(Robert Collins)
2727
2728
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2729
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2730
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2731
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2732
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2733
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2734
2735
INTERNALS:
2736
2737
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2738
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2739
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2740
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2741
2742
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2743
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2744
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2745
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2746
tests have been refactored too.
2747
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2748
2749
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2750
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2751
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2752
list, it will.
2753
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2754
2755
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2756
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2757
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2758
2759
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2760
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2761
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2762
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2763
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2764
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2765
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2766
2767
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2768
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2769
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2770
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2771
(John Arbash Meinel)
2772
2773
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2774
functionality for testing.
2775
2776
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2777
2778
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2779
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2780
2781
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2782
2783
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2784
(Robert Collins)
2785
2786
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2787
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2788
2789
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2790
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2791
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2792
2793
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2794
(Aaron Bentley)
2795
2796
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2797
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2798
2799
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2800
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2801
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2802
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2803
2804
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2805
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2808
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2809
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2810
2811
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2812
(Marius Kruger)
2813
2814
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2815
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2816
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2817
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2818
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2819
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2820
2821
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2822
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2823
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2824
many files. (Robert Collins)
2825
2826
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2827
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2828
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2829
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2830
2831
TESTING:
2832
2833
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2834
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2835
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2836
2837
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2838
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2839
2840
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2841
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2842
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2857
2858
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2859
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2860
2861
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2862
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2863
(James Westby, #122656)
2864
2865
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2866
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2867
2868
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2869
authentication header.
2870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2871
2872
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2873
2874
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2875
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2876
2877
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2878
2879
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2881
2882
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2883
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2885
2886
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2887
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2888
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2889
2890
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2891
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2892
2893
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2895
2896
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2897
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2898
2899
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2900
2901
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2902
2903
IMPROVEMENTS:
2904
2905
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2906
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2907
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2908
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2909
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2910
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2911
2912
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2913
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2914
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2915
2916
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2917
(Elliot Murphy)
2918
2919
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2920
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2921
2922
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2923
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2924
2925
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2926
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2927
2928
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2929
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2930
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2931
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2932
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2933
2934
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2935
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2936
2937
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2938
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2939
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2940
2941
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2942
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2943
2944
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2945
2946
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2947
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2948
2949
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2950
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2951
(Robert Collins)
2952
2953
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2954
(Martin Pool)
2955
2956
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2957
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2958
2959
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2960
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2961
2962
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2963
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2964
2965
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2966
2967
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2968
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2969
2970
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2971
(Andrew Bennetts)
2972
2973
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2974
2975
* Testing cleanups -
2976
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2977
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2978
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2979
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2980
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2981
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2982
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2983
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2984
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2985
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2986
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2987
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2988
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2989
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2990
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2991
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2992
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2993
(Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2996
2997
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2998
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2999
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3000
3001
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3002
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3003
3004
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3005
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3006
3007
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3008
3009
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3010
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3011
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3012
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3013
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3014
same location. (Robert Collins)
3015
3016
INTERNALS:
3017
3018
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3019
3020
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3021
3022
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3023
3024
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3025
(Martin Pool)
3026
3027
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3028
(Martin Pool)
3029
3030
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3031
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3032
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3033
3034
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3035
3036
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3037
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3038
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3039
3040
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3041
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3042
3043
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3044
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3045
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3046
3047
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3048
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3049
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3050
3051
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3052
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3053
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3054
3055
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3056
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3057
Martin Pool)
3058
3059
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3060
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3063
(Alexander Belchenko)
3064
3065
TESTING:
3066
3067
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3068
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3069
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3070
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3071
3072
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3073
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3074
testing. (Robert Collins)
3075
3076
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3077
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3078
3079
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3080
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3081
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3082
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3083
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3084
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3085
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3086
3087
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3088
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3089
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3090
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3091
3092
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3093
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3096
avoid useless cloning.

3115
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3116
3117
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3118
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3119
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3120
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3121
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3122
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3123
and unlock() like so::
3124
3125
work_tree.lock_read()
3126
try:
3127
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3128
finally:
3129
work_tree.unlock()
3130
3131
INTERNALS:
3132
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3133
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3134
object.
3135
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3136
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3137
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3138
3139
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3140
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3141
too. (Robert Collins)
3142
3143
IMPROVEMENTS:
3144
3145
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3146
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3147
Aaron Bentley)
3148
3149
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3150
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3151
3152
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3153
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3154
3155
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3156
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3157
understanding what changes have occurred
3158
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3159
3160
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3161
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3162
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3163
3164
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3165
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3166
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3167
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3168
3169
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3170
#56322)
3171
3172
BUGFIXES:
3173
3174
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3175
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3176
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3177
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3178
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3179
3180
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3181
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3182
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3183
3184
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3186
3187
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3188
into account.
3189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3190
3191
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3192
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3193
3194
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3195
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3196
3197
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3198
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3199
3200
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3201
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3202
3203
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3204
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3205
3206
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3207
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3208
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3211
--------------------
3212
3213
BUGFIXES:
3214
3215
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3216
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3217
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3218
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3219
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3220
3221
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3222
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3223
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3224
3225
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3226
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3227
3228
IMPROVEMENTS:
3229
3230
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3231
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3232
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3233
3234
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3235
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3236
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3237
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3242
BUGFIXES:
3243
3244
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3245
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3246
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3247
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3248
3249
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3250
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3251
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3252
3253
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3254
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3255
3256
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3257
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3258
3259
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3260
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3263
-----------------------
3264
3265
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3266
3267
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3268
it could be recovered again.
3269
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3270
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3271
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3272
but not delete it.
3273
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3274
files.
3275
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3276
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3277
3278
IMPROVEMENTS:
3279
3280
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3281
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3282
3283
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3284
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3285
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3286
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3287
3288
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3289
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3290
3291
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3292
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3293
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3294
3295
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3296
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3297
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3298
3299
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3300
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3301
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3304
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3305
Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3308
Pool)
3309
3310
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3311
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3312
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3313
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3314
3315
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3316
(Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3319
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3320
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3321
(Robert Collins)
3322
3323
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3324
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3325
3326
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3327
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3328
3329
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3330
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3331
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3332
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3333
(Robert Collins)
3334
3335
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3336
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3337
3338
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3339
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3340
3341
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3342
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3343
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3344
3345
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3346
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3347
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3348
3349
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3350
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3351
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3354
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3355
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3356
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3357
3358
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3359
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3360
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3361
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3362
3363
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3364
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3365
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3366
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3367
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3368
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3369
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3370
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3371
header(s).
3372
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3373
3374
INTERNALS:
3375
3376
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3377
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3380
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3381
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3382
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3383
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3384
3385
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3386
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3387
3388
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3389
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3390
3391
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3392
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3395
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3396
3397
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3398
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3399
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3400
(Robert Collins).
3401
3402
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3403
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3404
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3405
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3406
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3407
(Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3410
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3411
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3412
3413
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3414
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3415
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3416
3417
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3418
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3419
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3420
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3421
3422
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3423
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3424
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3425
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3426
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3427
3428
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3429
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3430
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3431
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3432
3433
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3434
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3435
3436
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3437
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3438
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3439
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3440
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3441
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3444
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3445
3446
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3447
help. (Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3450
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3451
3452
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3453
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3454
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3455
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel)
3457
3458
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3459
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3460
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3461
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3462
useful. (Robert Collins)
3463
3464
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3465
(Andrew Bennetts)
3466
3467
BUGFIXES:
3468
3469
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3470
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3471
3472
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3473
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3474
3475
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3476
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3477
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3478
3479
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3480
(Aaron Bentley)
3481
3482
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3483
the file, and does it faster.
3484
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3485
3486
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3487
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3489
3490
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3491
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3492
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3493
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3494
3495
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3496
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3497
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3498
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3499
3500
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3501
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3502
3503
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3504
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3505
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3506
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3507
Arbash Meinel)
3508
3509
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3510
3511
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3512
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3513
3514
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3515
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3516
3517
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3518
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3519
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3520
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3521
security hole.
3522
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3523
3524
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3526
3527
TESTING:
3528
3529
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3530
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3531
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3534
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3535
3536
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3537
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3538
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3539
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3540
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3541
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3542
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3543
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3544
3545
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3546
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3547
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3548
3549
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3550
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3551
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3552
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3553
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3554
access.
3555
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3556
3557
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3558
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3559
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3560
3561
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3562
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
3579
3580
CHANGES:
3581
3582
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3583
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3584
(Martin Pool)
3585
3586
IMPROVEMENTS:
3587
3588
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3589
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3590
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3591
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3592
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3593
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3594
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3595
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3596
path. (vila)
3597
3598
INTERNALS:
3599
3600
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3601
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3602
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3603
3604
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3605
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3606
(Martin Pool)
3607
3608
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3609
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3610
(John Arbash Meinel)
3611
3612
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3613
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3614
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3615
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3616
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3617
3618
BUGFIXES:
3619
3620
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3621
(vila, #92195)
3622
3623
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3624
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3625
3626
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3627
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3628
3629
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3630
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3631
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3632
3633
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3634
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3635
3636
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3637
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3638
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3639
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3640
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3641
3642
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3643
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3644
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3645
3646
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3650
-----------------------
3651
3652
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3653
3654
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3655
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3656
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3657
3658
IMPROVEMENTS:
3659
3660
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3661
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3662
3663
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3664
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3665
3666
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3667
3668
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3669
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3670
3671
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3672
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3673
3674
INTERNALS:
3675
3676
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3677
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3678
3679
BUGFIXES:
3680
3681
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3682
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3683
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3684
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3685
3686
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3687
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3688
3689
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3690
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3691
3692
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3693
(Marien Zwart)
3694
3695
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3700
-----------------------
3701
3702
SURPRISES:
3703
3704
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3705
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3706
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3707
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3708
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3709
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3710
3711
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3712
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3713
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3714
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3715
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3716
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3717
development.
3718
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3719
3720
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3721
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3722
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3723
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3724
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3725
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3726
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3727
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3728
3729
IMPROVEMENTS:
3730
3731
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3732
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3733
3734
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3735
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3736
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3737
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3738
does exist.
3739
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3740
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3741
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3742
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3743
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3744
3745
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3746
(Aaron Bentley)
3747
3748
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3749
(Aaron Bentley)
3750
3751
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3752
(Robert Collins)
3753
3754
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3755
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3756
(Aaron Bentley)
3757
3758
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3759
(Aaron Bentley)
3760
3761
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3762
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3763
3764
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3765
directory. (Martin Pool)
3766
3767
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3768
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3769
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3770
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3771
3772
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3773
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3774
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3775
in docs/configuration.txt.
3776
3777
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3778
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3779
bind location.
3780
3781
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3782
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3783
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3784
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3785
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3786
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3787
3788
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3789
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3790
3791
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3792
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3793
3794
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3795
(Aaron Bentley)
3796
3797
INTERNALS:
3798
3799
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3800
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3801
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3802
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3803
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3804
(John Arbash Meinel)
3805
3806
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3807
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3808
(Aaron Bentley)
3809
3810
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3811
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3812
(John Arbash Meinel)
3813
3814
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3815
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3816
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3817
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3818
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3819
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3820
3821
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3822
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3823
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3824
3825
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3826
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3827
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3828
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3829
repository.
3830
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3831
3832
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3833
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3834
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3835
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3836
3837
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3838
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3839
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3840
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3841
3842
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3843
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3844
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3845
3846
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3847
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3848
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3849
3850
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3851
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3852
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3853
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3854
3855
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3856
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3857
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3860
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3861
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3862
3863
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3864
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3865
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3866
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3867
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3868
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3869
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3870
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3871
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3872
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3873
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3874
3875
BUGFIXES:
3876
3877
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3878
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3879
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3880
3881
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3882
(Aaron Bentley)
3883
3884
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3885
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3886
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3887
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3888
3889
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3890
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3891
#83954).
3892
3893
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3894
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3895
3896
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3897
3898
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3899
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3900
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3901
3902
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3903
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3904
3905
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3907
3908
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3910
3911
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3912
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3913
3914
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3915
3916
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3917
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3918

TESTING:
3920
3921

3928
IMPROVEMENTS:
3929
3930
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
BUG FIXES:
3933
3934
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3935
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3936
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3937
3938
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3939
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3940
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3943
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3944
-----------------------
3945
3946
IMPROVEMENTS:
3947
3948
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3949
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3950
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3951
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3952
3953
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3954
(Marius Kruger)
3955
3956
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3957
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3958
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3959
3960
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3961
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3962
3963
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3964
(Aaron Bentley)
3965
3966
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3967
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3968
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3969
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3970
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3971
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3972
3973
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3974
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3975
should enable you to do::
3976
3977
[/home/user/project]
3978
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3979
push_location:policy = appendpath
3980
3981
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3982
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3983
(James Henstridge)
3984
3985
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3986
for each file. For example::
3987
3988
$ bzr status --short
3989
A foo
3990
A bar
3991
D baz
3992
? wooley
3993
3994
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3995
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3996
3997
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3998
3999
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4000
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4001
4002
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4003
4004
INTERNALS:
4005
4006
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4007
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4008
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4009
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4010
4011
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4012
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4013
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4014
4015
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4016
4017
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4018
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4019
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4020
(Alexander Belchenko)
4021
4022
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4023
Pool)
4024
4025
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4026
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4027
4028
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4029
4030
BUG FIXES:
4031
4032
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4033
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4034
4035
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4036
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4037
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4038
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4039
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4040
4041
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4042
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4043
4044
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4045
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4046
4047
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4048
matcher.
4049
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4050
4051
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4052
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4053
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4054
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4055
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4056
4057
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4058
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4059
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4060
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4061
4062
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4063
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4064
4065
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4066
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4067
4068
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4069
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
4084
4085
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4086
tree from a branch.
4087
(Daniel Silverstone)
4088
4089
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4090
operations are substantially faster.
4091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4092
4093
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4094
tree from some other url. For example:
4095
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4096
(Daniel Silverstone)
4097
4098
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4099
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4100
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4101
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4102
4103
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4104
(Andrew Bennetts)
4105
4106
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4107
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4108
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4109
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4110
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4111
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4112
4113
INTERNALS:
4114
4115
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4116
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4117
(Martin Pool)
4118
4119
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4120
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4121
(John Arbash Meinel)
4122
4123
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4124
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4125
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4126
(John Arbash Meinel)
4127
4128
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4129
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4130
4131
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4132
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4133
4134
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4135
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4136
Bennetts)
4137
4138
BUG FIXES:
4139
4140
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4141
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4142
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4143
4144
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4145
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4146
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4147
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4148
4149
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4150
4151
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4152
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4153
4154
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4155
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4156
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4158
4159
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4160
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4161
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4162
4163
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4164
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4165
them as full references rather than integers.
4166
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4167
4168
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4169
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4170
4171
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4172
4173
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4174
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4175
4176
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4177
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4178
4179
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4180
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4181
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4182
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4183
4184
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4185
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4186
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4187
4188
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4189
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4190
4191
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4192
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4193
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4194
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4195
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4196
4197
TESTING:
4198
4199
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4200
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4203
--------------------
4204
4205
INTERNALS:
4206
4207
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4208
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4209
(John Arbash Meinel)
4210
4211
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4212
-----------------------
4213
4214
IMPROVEMENTS:
4215
4216
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4217
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4218
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4219
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4220
4221
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4222
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4223
4224
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4225
4226
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4227
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4228
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4229
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4230
4231
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4232
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4233
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4234
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4235
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4236
4237
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4238
4239
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4240
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4241
4242
INTERNALS:
4243
4244
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4245
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4246
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4247
4248
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4249
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4250
(John Arbash Meinel)
4251
4252
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4253
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4254
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4255
4256
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4257
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4258
(Aaron Bentley)
4259
4260
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4261
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4262
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4263
4264
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4265
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4266
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4267
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4268
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4269
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4270
4271
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4272
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4273
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4274
(Robert Collins)
4275
4276
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4277
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4278
4279
BUG FIXES:
4280
4281
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4282
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4283
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4284
#63360, #66349)
4285
4286
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4287
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4288
4289
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4290
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4291
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4292
4293
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4294
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4295
4296
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4297
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4298
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4299
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4300
4301
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4302
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4303
4304
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4305
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4306
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4307
4308
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4309
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4310
4311
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4312
4313
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4314
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4315
#32054)
4316
4317
TESTING:
4318
4319
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4320
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4321
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4322
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4323
4324
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4325
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4326
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4327
4328
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
4337
4338
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4339
4340
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4341

4342
4343
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4344
-----------------------
4345
4346
IMPROVEMENTS:
4347
4348
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4349
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4350
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4351
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4352
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4353
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4354
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4355
4356
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4357
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4358
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4359
4360
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4361
4362
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4363
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4364
4365
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4366
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4367
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4368
(Robert Collins)
4369
4370
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4371
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4372
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4373
(John Arbash Meinel)
4374
4375
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4376
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4377
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4378
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4379
Pool)
4380
4381
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4382
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4383
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4384
(John Arbash Meinel)
4385
4386
BUG FIXES:
4387
4388
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4389
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4390
4391
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4392
4393
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4394
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4395
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4396
4397
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4398
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4399
4400
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4401
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4402
4403
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4405
4406
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4407
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4408
4409
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4410
4411
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4412
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4413
4414
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4415
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4416
4417
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4418
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4419
4420
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4421
(John Arbash Meinel)
4422
4423
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4424
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4425
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4426
4427
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4428
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4429
4430
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4431
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4432
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4433
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4434
4435
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4436
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4437
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4438
4439
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4440
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4441
4442
PORTABILITY:
4443
4444
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4445
4446
INTERNALS:
4447
4448
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4449
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4450
(John Arbash Meinel)
4451
4452
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4453
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4454
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4455
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4456
4457
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4458
(Andrew Bennetts)
4459
4460
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4461
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4462
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4463
4464
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4465
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4468
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4469
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4470
4471
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4472
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4473
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4474
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4475
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4476
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4477
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4478
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4479
caller to repeat their request.
4480
(John Arbash Meinel)
4481
4482
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4483
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4484
4485
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4486
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4487
4488
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4489
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4490
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4491
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4492
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4493
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4494
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4495
4496
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4497
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4498
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4499
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4500
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4501
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4502
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4503
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4504
(Robert Collins)
4505
4506
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4507
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4508
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4509
4510
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4511
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4512
4513
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4514
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4515
4516
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4517
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4518
4519
TESTING:
4520
4521
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4522
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4523
4524
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4525
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4526
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4529
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4530
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4531
4532
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4533
--------------------
4534
4535
IMPROVEMENTS:
4536
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4537
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4538
4539
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4540
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4541
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4542
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4543
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4544
4545
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4546
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4547
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4548
4549
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4550
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4551
4552
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4553
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4554
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4555
4556
BUG FIXES:
4557
4558
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4559
4560
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4561
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4562
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4563
4564
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4565
4566
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4567
4568
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4569
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4570
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4571
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4572
4573
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4574
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4575
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4576
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4577
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4578
4579
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4580
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4581
4582
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4583
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4584
4585
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4586
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4587
4588
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4589
in handling of revision properties.
4590
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4591
4592
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4593
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4594
4595
INTERNALS:
4596
4597
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4598
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4599
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4600
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4601
(John Arbash Meinel)
4602
4603
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4604
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4605
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4608
---------------------
4609
4610
SURPRISES:
4611
4612
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4613
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4614
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4615
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4616
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4617
a more conservative list than the old default.
4618
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4619
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4620
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4621
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4622
4623
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4624
to more locations than just branch locations.
4625
(Aaron Bentley)
4626
4627
IMPROVEMENTS:
4628
4629
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4630
revno:N:branch. For example,
4631
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4632
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4633
4634
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4635
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4636
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4637
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4638
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4639
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4640
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4641
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4642
#42517, #42514)
4643
4644
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4645
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4646
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4647
(Malone #3507)
4648
4649
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4650
(Alexander Belchenko)
4651
4652
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4653
4654
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4655
(Robert Collins).
4656
4657
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4658
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4659
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4660
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4661
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4662
(John Arbash Meinel)
4663
4664
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4665
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4666
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4667
grained analysis of performance.
4668
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4669
4670
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4671
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4674
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4675
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4676
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4677
file. (Robert Collins).
4678
4679
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4680
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4681
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4682
4683
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4684
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4685
Matthieu Moy)
4686
4687
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4688
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4689
4690
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4691
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4692
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4693
the same way you would apply another branch.
4694
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4695
4696
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4697
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4698
4699
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4700
(Michael Ellerman)
4701
4702
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4703
(Aaron Bentley)
4704
4705
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4706
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4707
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4708
4709
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4710
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4711
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4712
4713
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4714
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4715
4716
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4717
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4718
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4719
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4720
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4721
4722
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4723
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4724
4725
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4726
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4727
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4728
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4729
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4730
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4731
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4732
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4733
4734
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4735
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4736
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4737
4738
BUG FIXES:
4739
4740
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4741
tests not to run.
4742
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4743
4744
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4745
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4746
4747
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4748
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4749
4750
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4751
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4752
4753
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4754
4755
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4756
(John Arbash Meinel)
4757
4758
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4759
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4760
4761
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4762
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4763
and y.
4764
4765
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4766
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4767
4768
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4770
4771
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4772
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4773
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4774
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4775
4776
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4777
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4778
4779
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4780
4781
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4782
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4783
4784
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4785
4786
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4787
4788
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4789
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4790
4791
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4792
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4793
4794
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4795
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4796
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4797
4798
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4799
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4800
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4801
4802
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4803
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4804
4805
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4806
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4807
4808
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4809
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4810
4811
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4812
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4813
4814
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4815
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4816
4817
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4818
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4819
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4820
4821
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4822
4823
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4824
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4825
4826
INTERNALS:
4827
4828
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4829
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4830
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4831
4832
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4833
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4834
4835
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4836
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4837
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4838
4839
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4840
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4841
4842
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4843
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4844
(Martin Pool)
4845
4846
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4847
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4848
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4849
4850
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4851
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4852
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4853
4854
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4855
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4856
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4857
4858
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4859
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4860
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4861
4862
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4863
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4864
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4865
4866
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4867
instead. (Robert Collins)
4868
4869
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4883
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4884
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4885
4886
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4887
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4888
4889
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4890
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4891

4901
4902
CHANGES:
4903
4904
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4905
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4906
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4907
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4908
4909
NEW FEATURES:
4910
4911
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4912
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4913
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4914
4915
INTERNALS:
4916
4917
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4918
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4919
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4920
4921
TESTING:
4922
4923
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4924
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

4926
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4927
-------------------
4928
4929
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4930
4931
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4932
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4933
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4934
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4935
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4936
will keep the same format.
4937
4938
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4939
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4940
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4941
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4942
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4943
4944
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4945
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4946
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4947
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4948
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4949
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4950
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4951
4952
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4953
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4954
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4955
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4956
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4957
4958
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4959
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4960
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4961
arrangement.
4962
4963
4964
IMPROVEMENTS:
4965
4966
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4967
convention. Paths now take the form::
4968
4969
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4970
or
4971
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4972
4973
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4974
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4975
4976
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4977
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4978
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4979
4980
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4981
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4982
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4983
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4984
4985
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4986
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4987
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4988
4989
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4990
4991
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4992
4993
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4994
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4995
commits::
4996
4997
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4998
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4999
| xargs bzr re-sign
5000
5001
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5002
5003
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5004
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5005
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5006
(Robert Collins)
5007
5008
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5009
5010
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5011
5012
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5013
'.moved'.
5014
5015
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5016
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5017
5018
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5019
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5020
Daniel Silverstone)
5021
5022
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5023
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5024
Martin Pool)
5025
5026
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5027
5028
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5029
5030
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5031
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5032
5033
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5034
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5035
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5036
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5037
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5038
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5039
5040
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5041
5042
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5043
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5044
(Robert Collins)
5045
5046
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5047
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5048
5049
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5050
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5051
5052
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5053
5054
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5055
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5056
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5057
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5058
specification by Martin Pool.
5059
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5060
5061
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5062
Belchenko)
5063
5064
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5065
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5066
5067
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5068
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5069
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5070
5071
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5072
5073
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5074
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5075
(Robert Collins)
5076
5077
CHANGES:
5078
5079
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5080
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5081
5082
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5083
5084
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5085
5086
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5087
(Olaf Conradi)
5088
5089
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5090
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5091
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5092
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5093
5094
INTERNALS:
5095
5096
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5097
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5098
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5099
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5100
5101
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5102
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5103
tried. (Martin Pool)
5104
5105
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5106
(Martin Pool)
5107
5108
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5109
5110
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5111
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5112
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5113
5114
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5115
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5116
5117
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5118
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5119
paths. (Robert Collins)
5120
5121
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5122
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5123
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5124
5125
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5126
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5127
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5128
5129
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5130
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5131
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5132
5133
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5134
(Olaf Conradi)
5135
5136
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5137
(Olaf Conradi)
5138
5139
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5140
5141
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5142
5143
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5144
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5145
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5146
(Robert Collins)
5147
5148
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5149
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5150
5151
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5152
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5153
check. (Robert Collins)
5154
5155
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5156
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5157
5158
TESTING:
5159
5160
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5161
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5162
5163
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5164
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5165
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5166
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5167
5168
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5169
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5170
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5171
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5172
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5173
5174
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5175
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5176
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5177
5178
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5179
5180
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5181
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5182

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5184
------------------
5185
5186
CHANGES:
5187
5188
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5189
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5190
5191
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5192
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5193
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5194
(Johan Rydberg)
5195
5196
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5197
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5198
5199
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5200
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5201
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5202
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5203
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5204
5205
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5206
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5207
used. (Robert Collins)
5208
5209
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5210
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5211
(James Henstridge)
5212
5213
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5214
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5215
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5216
5217
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5218
ignore list.
5219
5220
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5221
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5222
5223
IMPROVEMENTS:
5224
5225
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5226
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5227
5228
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5229
5230
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5231
5232
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5233
tree. (Robert Collins)
5234
5235
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5236
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5237
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5238
(Robert Collins)
5239
5240
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5241
that they be kept.
5242
5243
* Tweaks to short log printing
5244
5245
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5246
(Aaron Bentley)
5247
5248
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5249
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5250
5251
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5252
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5253
5254
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5255
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5256
5257
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5258
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5259
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5260
5261
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5262
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5263
5264
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5265
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5266
requests.
5267
5268
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5269
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5270
5271
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5272
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5273
5274
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5275
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5276
5277
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5278
(Denys Duchier)
5279
5280
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5281
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5282
5283
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5284
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5285
5286
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5287
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5288
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5289
5290
BUG FIXES:
5291
5292
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5293
5294
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5295
5296
* Error when run with -OO
5297
5298
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5299
(Martin Pool)
5300
5301
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5302
5303
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5304
5305
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5306
ignored by diff and status
5307
5308
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5309
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5310
5311
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5312
5313
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5314
5315
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5316
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5317
5318
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5319
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5320
5321
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5322
(Harald Meland)
5323
5324
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5325
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5326
5327
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5328
5329
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5330
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5331
5332
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5333
(Martin Pool)
5334
5335
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5336
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5337
5338
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5339
5340
TESTING:
5341
5342
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5343
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5344
5345
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5346
5347
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5348
5349
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5350
5351
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5352
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5353
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5354
5355
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5356
5357
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5358
(John Arbash Meinel)
5359
5360
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5361
5362
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5363
If adding a new test script please add that to
5364
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5367
imported. (Martin Pool)
5368
5369
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5370
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5371
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5372
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5373
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5374
(Robert Collins)
5375
5376
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5377
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5378
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5379
5380
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5381
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5382
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5383
5384
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5385
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5386
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5387
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5388
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5389
(Robert Collins).
5390
5391
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5392
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5393
(Robert Collins).
5394
5395
INTERNALS:
5396
5397
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5398
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5399
5400
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5401
function. (Robert Collins)
5402
5403
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5404
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5405
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5406
5407
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5408
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5409
(Robert Collins)
5410
5411
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5412
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5413
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5414
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5415
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5416
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5417
version. (Robert Collins)
5418
5419
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5420
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5421
5422
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5423
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5424
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5425
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5426
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5427
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5428
5429
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5430
(Robert Collins)
5431
5432
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5433
5434
add()
5435
commit()
5436
move()
5437
rename_one()
5438
unknowns()
5439
5440
(Robert Collins)
5441
5442
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5443
5444
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5445
5446
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5447
Pool)
5448
5449
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5450
query method. (Robert Collins)
5451
5452
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5453
(Denys Duchier)
5454
5455
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5456
(Michael Ellerman)
5457
5458
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5459
(Michael Ellerman)
5460
5461
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5462
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5463
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5464
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5465
5466
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5467
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5468
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5469
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5470
5471
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5472
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

------------------
5476
5477
IMPROVEMENTS:
5478
5479
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5480
(John A Meinel)
5481
5482
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5483
conflicts.
5484
(Aaron Bentley)
5485
5486
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5487
a separator, not ':'.
5488
(Aaron Bentley)
5489
5490
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5491
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5492
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5493
5494
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5495
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5496
(Robert Collins)
5497
5498
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5499
has been added that suppresses all output.
5500
5501
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5502
Adams.
5503
5504
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5505
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5506
5507
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5508
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5509
5510
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5511
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5512
5513
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5514
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5515
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5516
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5517
5518
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5519
5520
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5521
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5522
5523
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5524
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5525
5526
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5527
output directory, if one was supplied.
5528
5529
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5530
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5531
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5532
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5533
5534
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5535
5536
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5537
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5538
5539
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5540
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5541
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5542
5543
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5544
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5545
5546
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5547
(Aaron Bentley)
5548
5549
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5550
5551
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5552
5553
TESTING:
5554
5555
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5556
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5557
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5558
5559
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5560
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5561
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5562
5563
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5564
is given. (Martin Pool)
5565
5566
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5567
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5568
file. (Robert Collins)
5569
5570
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5571
(Martin Pool)
5572
5573
INTERNALS:
5574
5575
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5576
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5577
representation. (Martin Pool).
5578
5579
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5580
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5581
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5582
5583
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5584
(Robert Collins)
5585
5586
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5587
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5588
Magnus Therning.
5589
5590
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5591
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5592
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5593
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5594
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5595
5596
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5597
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5598
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5599
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5600
python path. (Robert Collins)
5601
5602
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5603
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5604
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5605
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5608
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5609
5610
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5611
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5612
(Robert Collins)
5613
5614
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5615
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5616
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5617
5618
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5619
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5620
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5621
5622
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5623
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5624
5625
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5626
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5627
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5628
(Robert Collins)
5629
5630
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5631
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5632
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5633
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5634
(Robert Collins)
5635
5636
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5637
(Robert Collins)
5638
5639
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5640
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5641
(Robert Collins)
5642
5643
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5644
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5645
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5646
5647
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5648
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5649
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5650
5651
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5652
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5653
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5656
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5657
5658
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5659
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5660
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5661
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5662
caller. (Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5665
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5666
(Robert Collins).
5667
5668
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5669
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5670
(Aaron Bentley)
5671
5672
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5673
5674
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5675
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5676
5677
BUG FIXES:
5678
5679
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5680
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5681
5682
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5683
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5684
5685
5686
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5687
--------------------
5688
5689
BUG FIXES:
5690
5691
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5692
allow directories to be listed.
5693
5694
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5695
upgrading branch format.
5696
5697
PERFORMANCE:
5698
5699
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5700
5701
5702
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5703
------------------
5704
5705
NOTES:
5706
5707
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5708
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5709
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5710
high-latency connections.
5711
5712
BUG FIXES:
5713
5714
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5715
Rob Weir.
5716
5717
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5718
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5719
5720
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5721
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5722
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5723
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5724
5725
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5726
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5727
5728
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5729
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5730
5731
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5732
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5733
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5734
5735
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5736
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5737
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5738
Robert Collins
5739
5740
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5741
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5742
5743
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5744
different partial views of history.
5745
5746
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5747
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5748
5749
IMPROVEMENTS:
5750
5751
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5752
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5753
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5754
5755
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5756
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5757
'bzr upgrade'.
5758
5759
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5760
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5761
5762
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5763
Niemeyer.
5764
5765
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5766
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5767
5768
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5769
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5770
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5771
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5772
5773
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5774
5775
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5776
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5777
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5778
5779
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5780
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5781
5782
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5783
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5784
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5785
5786
5787
INTERNALS:
5788
5789
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5790
for your viewing pleasure.
5791
5792
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5793
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5794
5795
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5796
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5797
handling of such circumstances.
5798
5799
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5800
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5801
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5802
5803
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5804
5805
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5806
we call them revisions not patches.
5807
5808
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5809
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5810
5811
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5812
giving the revision *of that file*.
5813
5814
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5815
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5816
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5817
5818
TESTING:
5819
5820
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5821
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5822
5823
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5824
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5825
5826
5827
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5828
--------------------
5829
5830
BUG FIXES:
5831
5832
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5833
5834
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5835
(Robert Collins).
5836
5837
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5838
5839
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5840
5841
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5842
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5843
5844
IMPROVEMENTS:
5845
5846
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5847
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5848
5849
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5850
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5851
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5852
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5853
Robey Pointer
5854
5855
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5856
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5857
5858
INTERNALS:
5859
5860
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5861
5862
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5863
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5864
5865
5866
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5867
--------------------
5868
5869
IMPROVEMENTS:
5870
5871
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5872
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5873
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5874
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5875
Michael Ellerman.
5876
5877
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5878
(Nir Soffer)
5879
5880
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5881
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5882
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5883
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5884
for the operating system is still tried.
5885
5886
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5887
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5888
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5889
5890
5891
INTERNALS:
5892
5893
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5894
5895
BUG FIXES:
5896
5897
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5898
5899
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5900
branch.
5901
5902
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5903
read.
5904
5905
5906
PORTABILITY:
5907
5908
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5909
5910
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5911
5912
5913
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5914
--------------------
5915
5916
NEW FEATURES:
5917
5918
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5919
help with intelligent shell completion.
5920
5921
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5922
5923
5924
ENHANCEMENTS:
5925
5926
* Much better merge support.
5927
5928
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5929
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5930
like emacs smerge.
5931
5932
5933
BUG FIXES:
5934
5935
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5936
mention revisions that are not present.
5937
5938
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5939
5940
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5941
5942
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5943
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5944
5945
5946
CHANGES:
5947
5948
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5949
5950
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5951
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5952
--help themselves.
5953
5954
5955
LIBRARY:
5956
5957
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5958
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5959
libraries.
5960
5961
5962
5963
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5964
--------------------
5965
5966
NEW FEATURES:
5967
5968
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5969
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5970
5971
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5972
5973
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5974
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5975
5976
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5977
FOO.
5978
5979
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5980
5981
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5982
the Unix command.
5983
5984
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5985
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5986
5987
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5988
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5989
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5990
5991
5992
ENHANCEMENTS:
5993
5994
* Faster working tree operations.
5995
5996
5997
CHANGES:
5998
5999
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6000
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6001
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6002
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6003
6004
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6005
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6006
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6007
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6008
standard plugins directory.
6009
6010
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6011
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6012
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6013
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6014
6015
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6016
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6017
6018
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6019
disk.
6020
6021
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6022
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6023
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6024
6025
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6026
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6027
6028
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6029
line options must come before the command name because they
6030
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6031
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6032
it.
6033
6034
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6035
6036
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6037
is available with ``--short``.
6038
6039
6040
BUG FIXES:
6041
6042
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

---------------------
6047
6048
CHANGES:
6049
6050
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6051
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6052
6053
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6054
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6055
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6056
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6057
6058
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6059
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6060
with the ``--forward`` option.
6061
6062
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6063
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6064
field.

6069
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
6070
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
6071
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
6072
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
6073
10
6074
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
6075
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
6076
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6077
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
6078
15
6079
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
6080
either read or write mode.
25
6089
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
6090
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
6091
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
6092
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6093
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6094
6095
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6096
a filename.
6097
6098
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6099
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6100
6101
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6102
haven't changed since the previous time.
6103
6104
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6105
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6106
6107
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6108
6109
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6110
6111
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6112
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6113
6114
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6115
options through to an external GNU diff.
6116
6117
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6118
their contents.
6119
6120
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6121
from a branch.
6122
6123
6124
BUG FIXES:
6125
6126
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6127
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6128
6129
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6130
metacharacters.

TESTING:
40
6142
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
6143
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
6144
6145
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6146
under a different version.
6147
6148
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
