IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
FEATURES:
12
13
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
14
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
15
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
16
17
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
18
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
19
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
20
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
21
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
22
(Ian Clatworthy)
23
24
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
25
26
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
27
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
32
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
33
(Martin Pool)
34
35
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
36
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
37
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
38
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
39
40
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
41
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
42
(Christophe Troestler)
43
44
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
45
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
48
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
49
faster. The new request method name is
50
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
51
52
BUG FIXES:
53
54
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
55
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
56
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
57
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
58
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
59
60
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
61
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
62
63
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
64
requires a branch to be present.
65
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
66
67
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
68
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
69
that Python is running from.
70
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
71
72
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
73
loaded.
74
(Martin Pool, #205230)
75
76
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
77
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
78
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
79
(Martin Pool, #240161)
80
81
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
82
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
83
84
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
85
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
86
87
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
88
name contains an @.
89
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
90
91
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
92
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
93
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
94
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
95
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
96
97
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
98
(Martin Pool, #172870)
99
100
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
101
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
102
103
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
104
Cygwin Bazaar.
105
(Matt McClure, #209281)
106
107
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
108
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
109
110
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
111
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
112
113
DOCUMENTATION:
114
115
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
116
(Ian Clatworthy)
117
118
* Updated developer documentation.
119
(Martin Pool)
120
121
TESTING:
122
123
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
124
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
125
126
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
127
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
128
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
129
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
130
131
API CHANGES:
132
133
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
134
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
135
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
136
Repository docstring for more details.
137
(Robert Collins)
138
139
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
140
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
141
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
142
143
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
144
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
145
(Daniel Watkins)
146
147
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
148
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
149
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
150
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
151
152
INTERNALS:
153
154
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
155
(Alexander Belchenko)
156
157
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
158
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
159
containing a given location.
160
(Daniel Watkins)
161
162
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
163
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
164
storage. (Robert Collins)
165
166
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
167
(Robert Collins)
168
169
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
170
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
171
(Robert Collins)
172

174
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
175
-----------------------
176
177
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
178
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
179
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
180
now faster.
181
182
BUG FIXES:
183
184
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
185
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
186
reading from the repository.)
187
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
188
189
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
190
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
191
192
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
193
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
194
(Andrew Bennetts)
195
196
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
197
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
198
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
201
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
202
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
203
204
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
205
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
206
207
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
208
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
209
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
210
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
211
212
IMPROVEMENTS:
213
214
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
215
216
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
217
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
218
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
219
(Adrian Wilkins)
220
221
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
222
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
223
224
DOCUMENTATION:
225
226
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
227
228
TESTING:
229
230
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
231
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
232
233
API CHANGES:
234
235
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
236
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
237
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
238
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
239
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
240
241
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
242
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
INTERNALS:
245
246
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
247
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
248
249
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
250
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
251
252
253
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
254
-----------------------
255
256
257
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
258
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
259
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
260
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
261
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
262
and future extensions.
263
264
265
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
266
267
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
268
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
269
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
270
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
271
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
272
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
273
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
274
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
275
276
CHANGES:
277
278
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
279
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
280
(John Arbash Meinel)
281
282
FEATURES:
283
284
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
285
load. (James Westby)
286
287
IMPROVEMENTS:
288
289
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
290
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
291
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
292
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
293
294
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
295
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
296
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
297
298
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
299
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
300
301
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
302
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
303
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
304
305
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
306
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
307
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
308
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
309
step closer to not using full revision history.
310
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
311
312
BUGFIXES:
313
314
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
315
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
316
317
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
318
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
319
320
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
321
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
322
323
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
324
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
325
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
326
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
327
328
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
329
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
330
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
331
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
332
333
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
334
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
335
in use by another process.
336
(Martin Pool)
337
338
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
339
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
340
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
341
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
342
343
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
344
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
345
346
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
347
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
349
350
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
351
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
353
354
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
355
them.
356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
357
358
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
359
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
360
361
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
362
under vim on Mac OS X.
363
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
364
365
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
366
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
367
368
DOCUMENTATION:
369
370
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
371
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
372
373
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
374
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
375
(Ian Clatworthy)
376
377
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
378
and about use of Python reprs.
379
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
380
381
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
382
383
TESTING:
384
385
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
386
(Robert Collins)
387
388
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
389
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
390
391
* New helper function for splitting test suites
392
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
393
394
INTERNALS:
395
396
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
397
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
398
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
399
(John Arbash Meinel)
400
401
API CHANGES:
402
403
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
404
instead. (Martin Pool)
405
406
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
407
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
408
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
409
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
410
411
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
412
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
413
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
414
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
415
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
416
417
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
418
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
419
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
420
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
421
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
422
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
425
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
426
(Martin Pool)
427
428
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
429
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
430
(Robert Collins)
431
432
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
433
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
434
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
435
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
436
437
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
438
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
439
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
440
441
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
442
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
443
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
444
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
445
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
446
(Martin Pool)
447
448
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
449
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
450
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
451
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
452
(Robert Collins)
453
454
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
455
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
456
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
457
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
458
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
459
460
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
461

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
465
------------------
466
467
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
468
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
469
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
470
471
CHANGES:
472
473
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
474
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
475
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
476
477
DOCUMENTATION:
478
479
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
480
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

485
---------------------
486
487
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
488
489
CHANGES:
490
491
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
492
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
493
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
494
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
495
496
FEATURES:
497
498
IMPROVEMENTS:
499
500
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
501
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
502
503
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
504
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
505
506
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
507
(Aaron Bentley)
508
509
BUGFIXES:
510
511
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
513
514
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
515
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
516
517
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
518
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
519
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
520
521
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
522
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
523
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
524
525
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
526
(Andreas Deininger)
527
528
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
530
531
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
532
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
533
534
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
535
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
536
537
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
538
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
539
540
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
541
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
543
544
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
545
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
546
547
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
548
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
549
550
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
551
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
552
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
553
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
554
555
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
556
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
557
(Martin Pool)
558
559
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
560
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
561
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
562
563
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
564
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
565
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
566
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
567
every revision each side had in common.
568
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
569
570
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
571
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
572
573
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
574
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
575
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
576
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
577
578
DOCUMENTATION:
579
580
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
581
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
582
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
583
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
584
585
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
586
587
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
588
589
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
591
592
TESTING:
593
594
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
595
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
596
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
597
598
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
599
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
600
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
601
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
602
603
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
604
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
605
606
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
607
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
608
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
609
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
610
611
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
612
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
613
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
614
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
615
616
INTERNALS:
617
618
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
619
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
620
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
621
622
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
623
624
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
625
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
626
627
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
628
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
629
630
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
631
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
632
633
API CHANGES:
634
635
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
636
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
637
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
638
639
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
640
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
641
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
642
(Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
645
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
646
(Martin Pool)
647
648
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
653
------------------
654
655
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
656
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
657
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
658
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
659
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
660
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
661
and faster performance.
662
663
BUG FIXES:
664
665
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
666
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
667
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
672
---------------------
673
674
BUG FIXES:
675
676
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
677
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
678
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
679
680
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
681
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
682
683
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
684
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
685
686
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
687
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
688
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
689
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

695
---------------------
696
697
CHANGES:
698
699
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
700
701
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
702
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
703
704
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
705
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
706
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
707
708
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
709
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
710
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
711
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
712
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
713
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
714
Andrew Cowie)
715
716
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
717
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
718
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
719
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
720
721
FEATURES:
722
723
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
724
725
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
726
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
727
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
728
729
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
730
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
731
See the User Reference for signature details.
732
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
733
734
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
735
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
736
737
IMPROVEMENTS:
738
739
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
740
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
741
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
742
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
743
744
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
745
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
746
747
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
748
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
749
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
750
Wouter van Heyst)
751
752
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
753
(Chad Miller)
754
755
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
756
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
757
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
758
759
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
760
(Aaron Bentley)
761
762
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
763
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
764
765
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
766
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
767
768
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
769
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
770
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
771
772
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
773
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
774
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
775
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
776
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
777
778
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
779
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
780
781
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
782
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
783
784
BUGFIXES:
785
786
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
787
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
788
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
789
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
790
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
791
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
792
793
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
794
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
795
796
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
797
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
798
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
799
800
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
801
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
802
803
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
804
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
805
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
806
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
807
808
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
809
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
810
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
811
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
812
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
813
814
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
815
816
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
817
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
818
819
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
820
821
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
822
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
823
824
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
825
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
826
827
DOCUMENTATION:
828
829
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
830
831
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
832
833
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
834
835
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
836
837
API BREAKS:
838
839
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
840
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
841
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
842
843
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
844
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
845
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
846
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
847
848
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
849
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
850
release. (James Westby)
851
852
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
853
(Andrew Bennetts)
854
855
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
856
857
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
858
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
859
860
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
861
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
862
863
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
864
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
865
866
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
867
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
868
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
869
870
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
871
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
872
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
873
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
874
875
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
876
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
877
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
878
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
881
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
882
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
883
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
884
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
885
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
886
887
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
888
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
889
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
890
891
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
892
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
893
894
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
895
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
896
(Robert Collins)
897
898
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
899
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
902
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
905
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
906
907
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
908
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
909
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
910
911
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
912
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
913
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
914
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
915
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
916
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
917
918
TESTING:
919
920
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
921
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
922
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
923
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
924
925
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
926
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
927
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
928
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
929
implement this).
930
(Vincent Ladeuil)
931
932
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
933
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
934
(Vincent Ladeuil)
935
936
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
937
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
938
939
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
940
941
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
942
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
943
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
944
945
INTERNALS:
946
947
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
948
949
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
950
(Martin Albisetti)
951
952
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
953
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
954
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
955
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
956
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
957
(Martin Pool, #109520)
958
959
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
960
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
961
962
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
963
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
964
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
965
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
966
967
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
968
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
969
970
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
971
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
984
985
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
986
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
987
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
992
------------------
993
994
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
995
996
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
997
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
998
features have been added.
999
1000
TESTING:
1001
1002
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1003

1010
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1011
1012
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1013
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1014
1015
CHANGES:
1016
1017
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1018
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1019
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1020
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1021
(Robert Collins)
1022
1023
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1024
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1025
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1026
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1027
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1028
(Alexander Belchenko)
1029
1030
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1031
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1032
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1033
(Alexander Belchenko)
1034
1035
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1036
1037
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1038
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1039
1040
FEATURES:
1041
1042
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1043
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1044
1045
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1046
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1047
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1048
1049
IMPROVEMENTS:
1050
1051
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1052
1053
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1054
1055
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1056
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1057
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1058
1059
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1060
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1061
1062
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1063
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1064
1065
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1066
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1067
(Alexander Belchenko)
1068
1069
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1070
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1071
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1072
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1073
1074
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1075
(Daniel Watkins)
1076
1077
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1078
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1079
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1080
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1081
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1082
1083
BUGFIXES:
1084
1085
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1086
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1087
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1088
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1089
1090
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1091
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1092
1093
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1094
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1095
1096
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1097
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1098
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1099
1100
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1101
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1102
1103
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1104
#196618)
1105
1106
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1107
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1108
1109
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1110
1111
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1112
1113
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1114
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1115
1116
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1117
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1118
1119
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1120
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1121
1122
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1123
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1124
1125
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1126
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1127
1128
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1129
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1130
1131
DOCUMENTATION:
1132
1133
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1134
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1135
1136
API BREAKS:
1137
1138
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1139
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1140
(Alexander Belchenko)
1141
1142
TESTING:
1143
1144
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1145
1146
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1147
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1148
(Robert Collins)
1149
1150
INTERNALS:
1151
1152
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1153
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1154
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1155
1156
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1157
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1158
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1159
(Alexander Belchenko)
1160
1161
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1162
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1163
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1164
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1165
1166
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1167
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1168
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1169
(Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1172
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1173
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1174
1175
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1176
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1177
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1178
1179
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1180
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1181
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1182
format. (Robert Collins)

1194
---------------------
1195
1196
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1197
1198
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1199
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1200
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1201
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1202
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1203
(Andrew Bennetts)
1204
1205
CHANGES:
1206
1207
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1208
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1211
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1212
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1213
1214
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1215
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1216
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1217
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1218
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1219
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1220
(Aaron Bentley)
1221
1222
FEATURES:
1223
1224
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1225
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1226
1227
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1228
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1229
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1230
(Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1233
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1234
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1235
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1236
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1237
1238
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1239
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1240
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1241
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1242
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1243
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1244
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1245
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1246
1247
IMPROVEMENTS:
1248
1249
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1250
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1253
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1254
1255
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1256
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1257
1258
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1259
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1260
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1261
1262
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1263
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1264
(John Arbash Meinel)
1265
1266
BUGFIXES:
1267
1268
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1269
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1270
1271
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1272
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1273
1274
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1275
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1276
1277
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1278
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1279
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1280
1281
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1282
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1283
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1284
1285
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1286
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1287
1288
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1289
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1290
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1291
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1292
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1293
unittest runner.
1294
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1295
1296
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1297
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1298
#185907)
1299
1300
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1301
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1302
1303
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1304
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1305
1306
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1308
1309
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1310
more characters which should be considered valid.
1311
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1312
1313
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1314
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1315
1316
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1317
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1318
1319
API BREAKS:
1320
1321
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1322
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1323
1324
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1325
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1326
(Martin Pool)
1327
1328
TESTING:
1329
1330
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1331
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1332
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1333
1334
INTERNALS:
1335
1336
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1337
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1338
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1339
1340
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1341
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1342
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1343
1344
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1345
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1346
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1347
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1350
1351
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1352
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1353
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1354
server. (Robert Collins)
1355
1356
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1357
operate. (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1360
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1361
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1364
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1365
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1366
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1367
1368
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1369
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1370
1371
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1372
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1373
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1376
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1379
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1380
1381
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1382
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1383
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1384
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1393
---------------------
1394
1395
CHANGES:
1396
1397
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1398
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1399
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1400
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1401
1402
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1403
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1404
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1405
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1406
1407
FEATURES:
1408
1409
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1410
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1411
1412
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1413
(Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1416
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1417
1418
IMPROVEMENTS:
1419
1420
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1421
#90049)
1422
1423
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1424
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1425
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1426
1427
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1428
1429
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1430
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1431
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1432
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1433
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1434
1435
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1436
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1437
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1440
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1441
1442
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1443
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1444
1445
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1446
1447
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1448
1449
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1450
(Aaron Bentley)
1451
1452
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1453
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1454
1455
BUGFIXES:
1456
1457
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1458
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1459
1460
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1462
1463
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1464
(Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1467
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1468
1469
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1470
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1471
1472
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1473
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1474
1475
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1476
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1477
1478
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1479
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1480
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1481
1482
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1484
1485
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1486
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1487
(Aaron Bentley)
1488
1489
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1492
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1494
1495
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1496
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1497
1498
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1499
(Aaron Bentley)
1500
1501
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1502
#148087)
1503
1504
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1505
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1506
1507
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1508
#137681)
1509
1510
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1511
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1512
(Aaron Bentley)
1513
1514
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1515
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1517
1518
DOCUMENTATION:
1519
1520
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1521
(Ian Clatworthy)
1522
1523
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1524
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1525
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1526
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1527
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1528
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1529
1530
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1531
1532
INTERNALS:
1533
1534
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1535
(Aaron Bentley)
1536
1537
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1538
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1539
1540
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1541
1542
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1543
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1544
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1545
Robert Collins)
1546
1547
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1548
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1549
1550
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1551
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1552
1553
API BREAKS:
1554
1555
TESTING:
1556
1557
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1558
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1559
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1562
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1563
(Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1566
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1569
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1572
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1573
1574
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1575
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1576
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1577
1578
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1579
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1582
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1583
1584
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1585
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1587
1588
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1589
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1590
1591
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1592
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1619
by mail to the mailing list.
1620
(Martin Pool)
1621
1622
BUGFIXES:
1623
1624
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1625
1626
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1627
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1628
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1629
feedback but also incur more latency.
1630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1631
1632
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1633
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1641
1642
INTERNALS:
1643
1644
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1654
1655
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1656
1657
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1658
(Aaron Bentley)
1659
1660
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1661
Nordhoff, #172612)
1662
1663
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1664
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1665
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1666
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1667
1668
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1669
(Kent Gibson)
1670
1671
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1672
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1673
1674
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1675
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1676
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1677
1678
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1679
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1680
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1681
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1682
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1683
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1684
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1685
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1686
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1699
1700
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1701
filename to user.
1702
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1703
1704
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1705
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1706
required.
1707
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1708
1709
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1710
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1711
1712
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1713
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1714
1715

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1722
---------------------
1723
1724
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1725
1726
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1727
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1728
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1729
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1730
1731
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1732
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1733
1734
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1735
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1736
1737
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1738
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1739
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1740
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1741
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1742
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1743
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1744
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1745
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1746
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1747
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1748
from any tree without problems.
1749
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1750
1751
CHANGES:
1752
1753
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1754
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1755
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1756
1757
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1758
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1759
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1760
(Martin Pool)
1761
1762
FEATURES:
1763
1764
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1765
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1766
supported transports.
1767
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1768
1769
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1770
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1771
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1772
1773
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1774
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1775
1776
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1777
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1778
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1779
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1780
1781
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1782
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1783
1784
PERFORMANCE:
1785
1786
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1787
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1788
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1789
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1790
1791
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1792
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1793
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1794
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1795
1796
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1797
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1798
1799
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1800
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1801
1802
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1803
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1804
1805
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1806
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1807
(Aaron Bentley)
1808
1809
IMPROVEMENTS:
1810
1811
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1812
(Aaron Bentley)
1813
1814
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1815
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1816
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1817
1818
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1819
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1820
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1821
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1822
1823
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1824
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1825
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1826
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1836
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1837
1838

1845
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1846
1847
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1848
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1849
1850
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1852
1853
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1854
(Aaron Bentley)
1855
1856
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1858
1859
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1860
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1862
1863
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1864
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1865
1866
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1867
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1868
1869
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1870
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1871
1872
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.

1874
1875
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1876
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1877
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1878
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1879
on them.
1880
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1881
1882
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1883
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1885
1886
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1887
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1888
1889
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1890
to be reconciled.
1891
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1892
1893
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1894
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1895
1896
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1897
specify a port in urls.
1898
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1899
1900
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1901
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1902
1903
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1904
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)

1909
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1910
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1911
1912
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1913
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1914
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1915
1916
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1917
1918
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1919
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

1932
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1933
1934
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1935
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1936
1937
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1938
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1939
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1940
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1941
1942
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1943
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1944
1945
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1946
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1947
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1948
1949
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1950
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1951
1952
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1954
1955
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1957
1958
API BREAKS:
1959
1960
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1961
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1962
1963
* The return value of
1964
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1965
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1966
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1967
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1970
(Robert Collins)
1971
1972
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1973
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1974
format.
1975
(Martin Pool)
1976
1977
INTERNALS:
1978
1979
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1980
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1981
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1982
Bennetts)
1983
1984
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1985
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1986
1987
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2004
2005
CHANGES:
2006
2007
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2008
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2009
2010
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2011
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2012
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2013
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2014
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2015
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2016
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2017
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2018
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2019
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2020
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2021
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2022
(Robert Collins)
2023
2024
FEATURES:
2025
2026
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2027
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2028
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2029
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2030
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2031
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2034
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2035
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2036
(Robert Collins)
2037
2038
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2039
2040
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2041
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2042
2043
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2044
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2045
(Aaron Bentley)
2046
2047
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2048
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2049
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2050
2051
PERFORMANCE:
2052
2053
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2054
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2055
2056
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2057
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2060
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2061
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2062
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2065
(Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2068
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2069
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2070
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2073
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2074
2075
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2076
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2077
2078
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2079
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2082
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
IMPROVEMENTS:
2085
2086
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2087
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2088
2089
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2090
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2091
2092
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2093
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2094
2095
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2096
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2097
2098
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2099
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2100
2101
DOCUMENTATION:
2102
2103
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2104
2105
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2106
(Ian Clatworthy)
2107
2108
BUG FIXES:
2109
2110
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2111
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2112
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2113
2114
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2115
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2116
2117
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2118
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2119
2120
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2121
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2122
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2123
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2124
2125
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2126
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2127
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2128
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2129
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2130
2131
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2132
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2133
paramiko.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2135
2136
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2137
2138
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2139
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2140
2141
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2143
2144
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2146
2147
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2148
contains a symbolic link.
2149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2150
2151
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2152
(James Westby, #140615)
2153
2154
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2155
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2157
2158
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2159
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2160
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2161
2162
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2163
2164
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2166
2167
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2168
will remain opened.
2169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2170
2171
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2172
directory to detect leaking tests.
2173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2174
2175
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2176
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2177
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2178
2179
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2180
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2181
2182
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2183
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2186
Merwe)
2187
2188
API BREAKS:
2189
2190
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2191
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2194
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2195
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2198
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2199
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2200
2201
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2202
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2203
2204
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2205
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2208
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2209
(Martin Pool)
2210
2211
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2212
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2215
class that needs it.
2216
(Martin Pool)
2217
2218
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2219
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2222
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2223
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2226
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2227
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2228
(Robert Collins)
2229
2230
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2231
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2232
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2233
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2234
(Robert Collins)
2235
2236
INTERNALS:
2237
2238
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2239
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2240
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2243
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2244
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2245
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2248
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2249
(Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2252
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2253
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2256
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2257
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2260
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2263
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2264
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2267
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2270
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2271
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2274
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2275
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2278
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2279
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2280
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2283
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2284
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2285
returned. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2288
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2289
2290
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2291
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2292
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2293
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2294
(Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2297
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2298
2299
TESTING:
2300
2301
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2302
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2305
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2306
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2307
makes this behavior available to other users.
2308
(Martin Pool)
2309
2310
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2311
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2315
-------------------
2316
2317
BUG FIXES:
2318
2319
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2320
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2321
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2322
2323
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2324
2325
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2326
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2327
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2328
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2329
2330
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2331
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2332
(Andrew Bennetts)

2334
2335
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2336
----------------------
2337
2338
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2339
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2340
2341
2342
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2343
----------------------
2344
2345
CHANGES:
2346
2347
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2348
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2349
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2350
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2351
(Martin Pool)
2352
2353
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2354
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2355
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2356
(Ian Clatworthy)
2357
2358
FEATURES:
2359
2360
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2361
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2362
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2363
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2364
2365
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2366
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2367
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2368
2369
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2370
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2371
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2372
2373
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2374
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2375
2376
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2377
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2378
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2379
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2380
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2381
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2382
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2383
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2384
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2385
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2386
2387
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2388
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2389
2390
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2391
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2392
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2393
2394
BUG FIXES:
2395
2396
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2397
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2398
2399
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2400
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2401
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2404
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2405
2406
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2407
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2408
2409
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2410
(Aaron Bentley)
2411
2412
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2413
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2416
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2417
2418
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2419
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2420
2421
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2422
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2423
2424
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2425
2426
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2427
Watkins, #106726)
2428
2429
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2430
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2431
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2432
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2433
2434
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2435
2436
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2437
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2438
#133548)
2439
2440
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2441
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2442
2443
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2444
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2445
#116143)
2446
2447
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2448
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2449
2450
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2451
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2452
2453
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2454
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2455
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2456
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2457
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2458
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2459
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2460
2461
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2462
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2463
2464
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2465
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2466
2467
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2468
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2469
2470
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2472
2473
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2474
connections.
2475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2476
2477
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2478
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2479
2480
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2481
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2482
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2483
2484
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2485
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2486
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2487
2488
IMPROVEMENTS:
2489
2490
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2491
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2492
2493
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2494
(Aaron Bentley)
2495
2496
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2497
(Aaron Bentley)
2498
2499
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2500
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2501
2502
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2503
2504
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2505
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2506
2507
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2508
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2509
2510
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2511
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2512
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2513
space). (Robert Collins)
2514
2515
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2516
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2517
(Ian Clatworthy)
2518
2519
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2520
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2521
2522
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2523
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2524
2525
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2526
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2527
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2528
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2529
2530
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2531
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2532
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2533
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2534
2535
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2536
(Ian Clatworthy)
2537
2538
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2539
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2540
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2541
2542
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2543
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2544
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2545
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2546
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2547
2548
API BREAKS:
2549
2550
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2551
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2552
2553
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2554
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2555
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2556
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2557
affected. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2560
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2561
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2562
(Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2565
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
TESTING:
2568
2569
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2570
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2571
2572
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2573
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2574
2575
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2576
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2577
2578
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2579
(Aaron Bentley)
2580
2581
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2582
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2583
2584
INTERNALS:
2585
2586
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2587
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2588
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2589
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2592
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2593
2594
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2595
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2596
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2597
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2598
2599
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2600
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2601
present. (Robert Collins)
2602
2603
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2604
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2605
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2606
API. (Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2609
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2610
(Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2613
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2616
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2617
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2618
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2619
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2620
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2623
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2624
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2625
2626
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2627
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2628
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2629
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2630
protocol.
2631
2632
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2633
(Aaron Bentley)
2634
2635
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2636
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2637
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2638
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2639
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2640
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2641
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2642
2643
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2644
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2645
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2646
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2647
2648
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2649
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2650
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2651
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2652
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2653
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2654
2655
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2656
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2657
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2658
2659
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2660
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2661
2662
2663
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2664
-------------------
2665
2666
IMPROVEMENTS:
2667
2668
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2669
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2670
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2671
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2672
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2673
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2674
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2675
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2676
2677
2678
API CHANGES:
2679
2680
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2681
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2682
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2683

2685
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2686
----------------------
2687
2688
BUGFIXES:
2689
2690
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2691
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2692
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2693
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2694
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2695
2696
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2698
2699
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2700
anymore.
2701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2702
2703
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2704
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2705
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2706
2707
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2708
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2709
#111664)
2710
2711
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2712
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2713
2714
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2715
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2716
2717
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2718
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2719
2720
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2721
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2722
2723
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2724
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2725
2726
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2727
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2728
2729
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2730
(Aaron Bentley)
2731
2732
IMPROVEMENTS:
2733
2734
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2735
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2736
2737
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2738
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2739
2740
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2741
the repository (Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2744
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2745
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2746
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2747
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2748
2749
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2750
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2751
2752
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2753
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2754
(John Arbash Meinel)
2755
2756
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2757
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2758
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2759
about 10%).
2760
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2761
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2762
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2763
(John Arbash Meinel)
2764
2765
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2766
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2767
(Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2770
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2771
2772
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2773
(Ian Clatworthy)
2774
2775
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2776
2777
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2778
2779
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2780
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2781
2782
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2783
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2784
Meinel)
2785
2786
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2787
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2788
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2789
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2790
2791
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2792
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2793
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2794
2795
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2796
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2797
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2798
2799
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2800
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2801
2802
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2803
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2804
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2805
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2806
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2807
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2808
(Ian Clatworthy)
2809
2810
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2811
(Alexander Belchenko)
2812
2813
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2814
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2815
2816
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2817
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2818
2819
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2820
2821
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2822
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2823
2824
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2825
2826
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2827
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2828
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2829
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2830
2831
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2832
2833
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2834
(Robert Collins)
2835
2836
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2837
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2838
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2839
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2840
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2841
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2842
2843
INTERNALS:
2844
2845
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2846
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2847
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2848
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2849
2850
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2851
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2852
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2853
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2854
tests have been refactored too.
2855
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2856
2857
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2858
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2859
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2860
list, it will.
2861
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2862
2863
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2864
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2865
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2866
2867
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2868
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2869
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2870
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2871
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2872
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2873
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2876
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2877
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2878
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2879
(John Arbash Meinel)
2880
2881
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2882
functionality for testing.
2883
2884
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2885
2886
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2887
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2888
2889
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2890
2891
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2892
(Robert Collins)
2893
2894
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2895
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2896
2897
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2898
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2899
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2902
(Aaron Bentley)
2903
2904
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2905
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2906
2907
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2908
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2909
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2910
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2911
2912
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2913
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2916
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2917
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2918
2919
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2920
(Marius Kruger)
2921
2922
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2923
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2924
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2925
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2926
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2927
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2928
2929
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2930
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2931
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2932
many files. (Robert Collins)
2933
2934
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2935
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2936
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2937
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2938
2939
TESTING:
2940
2941
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2942
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2943
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2944
2945
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2946
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2947
2948
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2949
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2950
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2965
2966
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2967
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2968
2969
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2970
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2971
(James Westby, #122656)
2972
2973
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2974
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2975
2976
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2977
authentication header.
2978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2979
2980
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2981
2982
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2983
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2984
2985
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2986
2987
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2989
2990
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2991
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2993
2994
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2995
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2996
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2997
2998
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2999
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3000
3001
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3003
3004
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3005
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3006
3007
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3008
3009
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3010
3011
IMPROVEMENTS:
3012
3013
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3014
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3015
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3016
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3017
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3018
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3019
3020
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3021
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3022
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3023
3024
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3025
(Elliot Murphy)
3026
3027
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3028
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3029
3030
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3031
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3032
3033
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3034
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3035
3036
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3037
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3038
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3039
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3040
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3041
3042
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3043
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3044
3045
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3046
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3047
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3048
3049
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3050
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3051
3052
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3053
3054
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3055
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3056
3057
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3058
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3059
(Robert Collins)
3060
3061
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3062
(Martin Pool)
3063
3064
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3065
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3066
3067
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3068
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3069
3070
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3071
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3072
3073
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3074
3075
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3076
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3077
3078
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3079
(Andrew Bennetts)
3080
3081
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3082
3083
* Testing cleanups -
3084
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3085
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3086
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3087
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3088
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3089
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3090
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3091
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3092
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3093
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3094
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3095
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3096
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3097
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3098
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3099
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3100
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3101
(Robert Collins)
3102
3103
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3104
3105
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3106
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3107
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3110
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3113
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3114
3115
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3116
3117
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3118
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3119
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3120
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3121
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3122
same location. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
INTERNALS:
3125
3126
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3127
3128
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3129
3130
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3131
3132
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3133
(Martin Pool)
3134
3135
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3136
(Martin Pool)
3137
3138
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3139
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3140
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3141
3142
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3143
3144
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3145
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3146
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3147
3148
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3149
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3150
3151
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3152
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3153
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3156
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3157
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3160
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3161
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3164
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3165
Martin Pool)
3166
3167
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3168
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3169
3170
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3171
(Alexander Belchenko)
3172
3173
TESTING:
3174
3175
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3176
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3177
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3178
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3179
3180
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3181
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3182
testing. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3185
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3186
3187
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3188
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3189
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3190
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3191
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3192
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3193
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3196
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3197
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3198
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3199
3200
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3201
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3202
3203
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3204
avoid useless cloning.

BUGFIXES:
3212
3213
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3214
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3215
3216
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

3223
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3224
3225
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3226
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3227
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3228
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3229
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3230
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3231
and unlock() like so::
3232
3233
work_tree.lock_read()
3234
try:
3235
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3236
finally:
3237
work_tree.unlock()
3238
3239
INTERNALS:
3240
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3241
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3242
object.
3243
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3244
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3245
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3246
3247
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3248
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3249
too. (Robert Collins)
3250
3251
IMPROVEMENTS:
3252
3253
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3254
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3255
Aaron Bentley)
3256
3257
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3258
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3259
3260
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3261
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3262
3263
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3264
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3265
understanding what changes have occurred
3266
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3267
3268
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3269
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3270
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3271
3272
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3273
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3274
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3275
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3276
3277
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3278
#56322)
3279
3280
BUGFIXES:
3281
3282
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3283
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3284
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3285
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3286
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3287
3288
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3289
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3290
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3291
3292
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3294
3295
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3296
into account.
3297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3298
3299
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3300
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3301
3302
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3303
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3304
3305
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3306
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3307
3308
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3309
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3310
3311
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3312
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3313
3314
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3315
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3316
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3317
3318
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3319
--------------------
3320
3321
BUGFIXES:
3322
3323
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3324
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3325
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3326
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3327
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3328
3329
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3330
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3331
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3332
3333
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3334
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3335
3336
IMPROVEMENTS:
3337
3338
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3339
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3340
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3341
3342
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3343
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3344
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3345
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3346
3347
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3348
-----------------------
3349
3350
BUGFIXES:
3351
3352
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3353
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3354
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3355
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3356
3357
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3358
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3359
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3360
3361
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3362
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3363
3364
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3365
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3366
3367
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3368
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3369
3370
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3371
-----------------------
3372
3373
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3374
3375
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3376
it could be recovered again.
3377
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3378
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3379
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3380
but not delete it.
3381
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3382
files.
3383
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3384
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3385
3386
IMPROVEMENTS:
3387
3388
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3389
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3390
3391
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3392
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3393
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3394
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3395
3396
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3397
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3398
3399
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3400
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3401
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3402
3403
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3404
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3405
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3406
3407
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3408
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3409
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3410
3411
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3412
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3413
Robert Collins)
3414
3415
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3416
Pool)
3417
3418
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3419
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3420
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3421
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3422
3423
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3424
(Robert Collins)
3425
3426
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3427
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3428
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3429
(Robert Collins)
3430
3431
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3432
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3433
3434
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3435
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3436
3437
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3438
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3439
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3440
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3441
(Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3444
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3445
3446
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3447
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3448
3449
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3450
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3451
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3452
3453
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3454
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3455
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3456
3457
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3458
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3459
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3460
3461
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3462
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3463
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3464
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3465
3466
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3467
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3468
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3469
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3470
3471
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3472
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3473
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3474
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3475
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3476
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3477
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3478
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3479
header(s).
3480
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3481
3482
INTERNALS:
3483
3484
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3485
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3486
3487
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3488
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3489
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3490
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3491
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3492
3493
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3494
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3495
3496
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3497
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3498
3499
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3500
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3501
3502
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3503
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3504
3505
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3506
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3507
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3508
(Robert Collins).
3509
3510
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3511
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3512
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3513
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3514
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3515
(Robert Collins)
3516
3517
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3518
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3519
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3520
3521
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3522
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3523
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3524
3525
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3526
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3527
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3528
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3529
3530
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3531
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3532
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3533
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3534
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3535
3536
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3537
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3538
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3539
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3542
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3543
3544
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3545
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3546
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3547
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3548
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3549
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3550
3551
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3552
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3553
3554
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3555
help. (Robert Collins)
3556
3557
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3558
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3559
3560
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3561
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3562
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3563
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3564
(John Arbash Meinel)
3565
3566
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3567
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3568
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3569
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3570
useful. (Robert Collins)
3571
3572
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3573
(Andrew Bennetts)
3574
3575
BUGFIXES:
3576
3577
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3578
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3579
3580
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3581
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3582
3583
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3584
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3585
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3586
3587
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3588
(Aaron Bentley)
3589
3590
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3591
the file, and does it faster.
3592
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3593
3594
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3595
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3596
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3597
3598
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3599
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3600
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3601
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3602
3603
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3604
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3605
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3606
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3607
3608
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3609
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3610
3611
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3612
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3613
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3614
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3615
Arbash Meinel)
3616
3617
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3618
3619
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3620
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3621
3622
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3623
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3624
3625
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3626
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3627
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3628
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3629
security hole.
3630
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3631
3632
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3634
3635
TESTING:
3636
3637
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3638
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3639
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3640
3641
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3642
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3643
3644
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3645
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3646
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3647
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3648
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3649
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3650
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3651
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3652
3653
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3654
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3655
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3656
3657
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3658
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3659
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3660
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3661
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3662
access.
3663
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3664
3665
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3666
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3667
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3668
3669
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3670
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3688
CHANGES:
3689
3690
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3691
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3692
(Martin Pool)
3693
3694
IMPROVEMENTS:
3695
3696
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3697
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3698
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3699
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3700
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3701
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3702
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3703
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3704
path. (vila)
3705
3706
INTERNALS:
3707
3708
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3709
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3710
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3711
3712
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3713
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3714
(Martin Pool)
3715
3716
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3717
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3718
(John Arbash Meinel)
3719
3720
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3721
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3722
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3723
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3724
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3725
3726
BUGFIXES:
3727
3728
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3729
(vila, #92195)
3730
3731
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3732
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3733
3734
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3735
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3736
3737
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3738
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3739
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3740
3741
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3742
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3743
3744
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3745
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3746
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3747
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3748
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3749
3750
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3751
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3752
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3753
3754
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3758
-----------------------
3759
3760
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3761
3762
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3763
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3764
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3765
3766
IMPROVEMENTS:
3767
3768
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3769
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3770
3771
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3772
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3773
3774
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3775
3776
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3777
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3778
3779
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3780
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3781
3782
INTERNALS:
3783
3784
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3785
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3786
3787
BUGFIXES:
3788
3789
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3790
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3791
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3792
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3793
3794
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3795
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3796
3797
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3798
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3799
3800
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3801
(Marien Zwart)
3802
3803
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3804
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

3807
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3808
-----------------------
3809
3810
SURPRISES:
3811
3812
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3813
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3814
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3815
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3816
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3817
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3818
3819
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3820
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3821
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3822
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3823
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3824
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3825
development.
3826
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3827
3828
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3829
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3830
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3831
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3832
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3833
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3834
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3835
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3836
3837
IMPROVEMENTS:
3838
3839
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3840
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3841
3842
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3843
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3844
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3845
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3846
does exist.
3847
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3848
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3849
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3850
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3851
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3852
3853
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3854
(Aaron Bentley)
3855
3856
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3857
(Aaron Bentley)
3858
3859
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3860
(Robert Collins)
3861
3862
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3863
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3864
(Aaron Bentley)
3865
3866
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3867
(Aaron Bentley)
3868
3869
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3870
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3871
3872
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3873
directory. (Martin Pool)
3874
3875
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3876
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3877
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3878
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3879
3880
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3881
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3882
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3883
in docs/configuration.txt.
3884
3885
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3886
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3887
bind location.
3888
3889
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3890
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3891
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3892
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3893
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3894
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3895
3896
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3897
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3898
3899
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3900
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3901
3902
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3903
(Aaron Bentley)
3904
3905
INTERNALS:
3906
3907
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3908
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3909
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3910
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3911
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3912
(John Arbash Meinel)
3913
3914
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3915
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3916
(Aaron Bentley)
3917
3918
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3919
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3920
(John Arbash Meinel)
3921
3922
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3923
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3924
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3925
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3926
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3927
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3928
3929
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3930
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3931
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3932
3933
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3934
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3935
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3936
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3937
repository.
3938
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3939
3940
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3941
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3942
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3943
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3944
3945
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3946
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3947
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3948
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3951
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3952
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3953
3954
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3955
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3956
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3957
3958
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3959
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3960
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3961
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3962
3963
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3964
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3965
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3966
3967
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3968
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3969
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3970
3971
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3972
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3973
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3974
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3975
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3976
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3977
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3978
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3979
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3980
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3981
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3982
3983
BUGFIXES:
3984
3985
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3986
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3987
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3988
3989
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3990
(Aaron Bentley)
3991
3992
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3993
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3994
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3995
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3996
3997
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3998
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3999
#83954).
4000
4001
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4002
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4003
4004
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4005
4006
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4007
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4008
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4009
4010
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4011
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4012
4013
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4015
4016
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4018
4019
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4020
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4021
4022
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4023
4024
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4025
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4026
4027
TESTING:
4028
4029
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4030
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4036
IMPROVEMENTS:
4037
4038
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4039
4040
BUG FIXES:
4041
4042
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4043
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4044
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4045
4046
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4047
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4048
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4051
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4052
-----------------------
4053
4054
IMPROVEMENTS:
4055
4056
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4057
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4058
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4059
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4060
4061
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4062
(Marius Kruger)
4063
4064
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4065
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4066
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4067
4068
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4069
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4070
4071
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4072
(Aaron Bentley)
4073
4074
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4075
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4076
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4077
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4078
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4079
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4080
4081
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4082
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4083
should enable you to do::
4084
4085
[/home/user/project]
4086
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4087
push_location:policy = appendpath
4088
4089
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4090
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4091
(James Henstridge)
4092
4093
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4094
for each file. For example::
4095
4096
$ bzr status --short
4097
A foo
4098
A bar
4099
D baz
4100
? wooley
4101
4102
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4103
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4104
4105
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4106
4107
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4108
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4109
4110
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4111
4112
INTERNALS:
4113
4114
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4115
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4116
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4117
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4118
4119
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4120
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4121
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4122
4123
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4124
4125
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4126
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4127
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4128
(Alexander Belchenko)
4129
4130
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4131
Pool)
4132
4133
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4134
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4135
4136
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4137
4138
BUG FIXES:
4139
4140
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4141
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4142
4143
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4144
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4145
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4146
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4147
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4148
4149
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4150
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4151
4152
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4153
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4154
4155
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4156
matcher.
4157
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4158
4159
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4160
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4161
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4162
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4163
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4164
4165
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4166
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4167
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4168
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4169
4170
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4171
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4172
4173
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4174
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4175
4176
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4177
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4178
4179
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4191
IMPROVEMENTS:
4192
4193
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4194
tree from a branch.
4195
(Daniel Silverstone)
4196
4197
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4198
operations are substantially faster.
4199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4200
4201
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4202
tree from some other url. For example:
4203
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4204
(Daniel Silverstone)
4205
4206
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4207
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4208
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4209
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4210
4211
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4212
(Andrew Bennetts)
4213
4214
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4215
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4216
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4217
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4218
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4219
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4220
4221
INTERNALS:
4222
4223
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4224
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4225
(Martin Pool)
4226
4227
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4228
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4229
(John Arbash Meinel)
4230
4231
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4232
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4233
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4234
(John Arbash Meinel)
4235
4236
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4237
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4238
4239
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4240
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4241
4242
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4243
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4244
Bennetts)
4245
4246
BUG FIXES:
4247
4248
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4249
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4250
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4251
4252
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4253
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4254
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4255
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4256
4257
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4258
4259
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4260
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4261
4262
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4263
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4264
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4266
4267
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4268
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4269
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4270
4271
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4272
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4273
them as full references rather than integers.
4274
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4275
4276
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4277
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4278
4279
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4280
4281
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4282
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4283
4284
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4285
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4286
4287
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4288
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4289
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4290
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4291
4292
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4293
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4294
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4295
4296
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4297
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4298
4299
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4300
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4301
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4302
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4303
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4304
4305
TESTING:
4306
4307
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4308
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4311
--------------------
4312
4313
INTERNALS:
4314
4315
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4316
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4317
(John Arbash Meinel)
4318
4319
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4320
-----------------------
4321
4322
IMPROVEMENTS:
4323
4324
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4325
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4326
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4327
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4328
4329
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4330
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4331
4332
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4333
4334
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4335
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4336
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4337
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4338
4339
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4340
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4341
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4342
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4343
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4344
4345
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4346
4347
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4348
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4349
4350
INTERNALS:
4351
4352
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4353
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4354
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4355
4356
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4357
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4358
(John Arbash Meinel)
4359
4360
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4361
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4362
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4363
4364
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4365
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4366
(Aaron Bentley)
4367
4368
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4369
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4370
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4371
4372
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4373
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4374
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4375
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4376
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4377
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4378
4379
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4380
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4381
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4382
(Robert Collins)
4383
4384
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4385
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4386
4387
BUG FIXES:
4388
4389
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4390
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4391
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4392
#63360, #66349)
4393
4394
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4395
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4396
4397
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4398
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4399
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4400
4401
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4402
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4403
4404
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4405
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4406
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4407
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4408
4409
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4410
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4411
4412
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4413
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4414
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4415
4416
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4417
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4418
4419
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4420
4421
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4422
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4423
#32054)
4424
4425
TESTING:
4426
4427
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4428
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4429
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4430
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4433
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4434
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4435
4436
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4451
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4452
-----------------------
4453
4454
IMPROVEMENTS:
4455
4456
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4457
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4458
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4459
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4460
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4461
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4462
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4463
4464
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4465
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4466
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4467
4468
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4471
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4472
4473
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4474
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4475
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4476
(Robert Collins)
4477
4478
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4479
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4480
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4481
(John Arbash Meinel)
4482
4483
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4484
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4485
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4486
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4487
Pool)
4488
4489
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4490
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4491
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4492
(John Arbash Meinel)
4493
4494
BUG FIXES:
4495
4496
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4497
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4498
4499
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4500
4501
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4502
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4503
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4504
4505
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4506
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4507
4508
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4509
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4510
4511
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4513
4514
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4515
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4516
4517
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4518
4519
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4520
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4521
4522
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4523
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4524
4525
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4526
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4527
4528
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4529
(John Arbash Meinel)
4530
4531
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4532
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4533
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4534
4535
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4536
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4537
4538
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4539
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4540
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4541
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4542
4543
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4544
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4545
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4546
4547
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4548
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4549
4550
PORTABILITY:
4551
4552

4555
4556
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4557
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4558
(John Arbash Meinel)
4559
4560
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4561
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4562
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4563
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4564
4565
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4566
(Andrew Bennetts)
4567
4568
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4569
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4570
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4571
4572
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4573
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4574
4575
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4576
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4577
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4578
4579
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4580
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4581
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4582
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4583
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4584
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4585
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4586
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4587
caller to repeat their request.
4588
(John Arbash Meinel)
4589
4590
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4591
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4592
4593
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4594
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4597
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4598
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4599
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4600
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4601
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4602
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4603
4604
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4605
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4606
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4607
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4608
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4609
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4610
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4611
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4612
(Robert Collins)
4613
4614
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4615
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4616
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4617
4618
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4619
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4620
4621
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4622
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4623
4624
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4625
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4626
4627
TESTING:
4628
4629
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4630
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4631
4632
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4633
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4634
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4635
4636
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4637
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4638
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4639
4640
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4641
--------------------
4642
4643
IMPROVEMENTS:
4644
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4645
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4646
4647
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4648
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4649
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4650
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4651
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4652
4653
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4654
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4655
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4656
4657
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4658
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4659
4660
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4661
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4662
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4663
4664
BUG FIXES:
4665
4666
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4667
4668
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4669
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4670
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4671
4672
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4673
4674
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4675
4676
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4677
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4678
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4679
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4680
4681
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4682
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4683
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4684
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4685
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4686
4687
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4688
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4689
4690
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4691
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4692
4693
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4694
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4695
4696
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4697
in handling of revision properties.
4698
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4699
4700
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4701
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4702
4703
INTERNALS:
4704
4705
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4706
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4707
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4708
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4709
(John Arbash Meinel)
4710
4711
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4712
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4713
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4714
4715
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4716
---------------------
4717
4718
SURPRISES:
4719
4720
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4721
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4722
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4723
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4724
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4725
a more conservative list than the old default.
4726
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4727
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4728
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4729
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4730
4731
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4732
to more locations than just branch locations.
4733
(Aaron Bentley)
4734
4735
IMPROVEMENTS:
4736
4737
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4738
revno:N:branch. For example,
4739
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4740
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4741
4742
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4743
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4744
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4745
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4746
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4747
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4748
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4749
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4750
#42517, #42514)
4751
4752
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4753
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4754
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4755
(Malone #3507)
4756
4757
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4758
(Alexander Belchenko)
4759
4760
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4761
4762
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4763
(Robert Collins).
4764
4765
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4766
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4767
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4768
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4769
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4770
(John Arbash Meinel)
4771
4772
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4773
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4774
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4775
grained analysis of performance.
4776
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4777
4778
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4779
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4780
4781
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4782
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4783
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4784
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4785
file. (Robert Collins).
4786
4787
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4788
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4789
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4790
4791
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4792
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4793
Matthieu Moy)
4794
4795
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4796
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4797
4798
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4799
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4800
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4801
the same way you would apply another branch.
4802
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4803
4804
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4805
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4806
4807
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4808
(Michael Ellerman)
4809
4810
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4811
(Aaron Bentley)
4812
4813
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4814
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4815
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4816
4817
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4818
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4819
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4820
4821
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4822
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4823
4824
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4825
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4826
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4827
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4828
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4829
4830
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4831
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4832
4833
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4834
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4835
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4836
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4837
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4838
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4839
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4840
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4841
4842
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4843
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4844
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4845
4846
BUG FIXES:
4847
4848
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4849
tests not to run.
4850
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4851
4852
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4853
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4854
4855
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4856
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4857
4858
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4859
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4860
4861
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4862
4863
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4864
(John Arbash Meinel)
4865
4866
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4867
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4868
4869
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4870
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4871
and y.
4872
4873
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4874
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4875
4876
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4877
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4878
4879
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4880
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4881
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4882
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4883
4884
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4885
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4886
4887
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4888
4889
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4890
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4891
4892
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4893
4894
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4895
4896
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4897
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4898
4899
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4900
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4901
4902
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4903
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4904
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4905
4906
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4907
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4908
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4909
4910
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4911
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4912
4913
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4914
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4915
4916
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4917
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4918
4919
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4920
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4921
4922
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4923
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4924
4925
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4926
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4928
4929
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4930
4931
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4932
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4933
4934
INTERNALS:
4935
4936
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4937
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4938
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4939
4940
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4941
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4942
4943
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4944
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4945
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4946
4947
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4948
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
4950
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4951
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4952
(Martin Pool)
4953
4954
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4955
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4956
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4957
4958
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4959
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4960
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4961
4962
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4963
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4964
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4965
4966
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4967
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4968
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4969
4970
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4971
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4972
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4973
4974
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4975

5034
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5035
-------------------
5036
5037
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5038
5039
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5040
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5041
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5042
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5043
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5044
will keep the same format.
5045
5046
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5047
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5048
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5049
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5050
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5051
5052
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5053
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5054
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5055
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5056
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5057
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5058
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5059
5060
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5061
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5062
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5063
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5064
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5065
5066
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5067
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5068
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5069
arrangement.
5070
5071
5072
IMPROVEMENTS:
5073
5074
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5075
convention. Paths now take the form::
5076
5077
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5078
or
5079
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5080
5081
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5082
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5083
5084
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5085
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5086
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5087
5088
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5089
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5090
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5091
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5092
5093
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5094
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5095
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5096
5097
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5098
5099
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5100
5101
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5102
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5103
commits::
5104
5105
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5106
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5107
| xargs bzr re-sign
5108
5109
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5110
5111
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5112
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5113
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5114
(Robert Collins)
5115
5116
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5117
5118
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5119
5120
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5121
'.moved'.
5122
5123
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5124
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5125
5126
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5127
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5128
Daniel Silverstone)
5129
5130
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5131
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5132
Martin Pool)
5133
5134
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5135
5136
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5137
5138
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5139
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5140
5141
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5142
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5143
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5144
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5145
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5146
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5147
5148
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5149
5150
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5151
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5152
(Robert Collins)
5153
5154
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5155
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5156
5157
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5158
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5159
5160
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5161
5162
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5163
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5164
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5165
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5166
specification by Martin Pool.
5167
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5168
5169
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5170
Belchenko)
5171
5172
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5173
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5174
5175
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5176
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5177
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5178
5179
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5180
5181
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5182
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5183
(Robert Collins)
5184
5185
CHANGES:
5186
5187
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5188
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5189
5190
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5191
5192
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5193
5194
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5195
(Olaf Conradi)
5196
5197
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5198
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5199
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5200
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5201
5202
INTERNALS:
5203
5204
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5205
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5206
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5207
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5208
5209
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5210
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5211
tried. (Martin Pool)
5212
5213
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5214
(Martin Pool)
5215
5216
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5217
5218
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5219
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5220
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5221
5222
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5223
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5224
5225
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5226
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5227
paths. (Robert Collins)
5228
5229
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5230
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5231
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5232
5233
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5234
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5235
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5236
5237
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5238
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5239
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5240
5241
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5242
(Olaf Conradi)
5243
5244
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5245
(Olaf Conradi)
5246
5247
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5248
5249
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5250
5251
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5252
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5253
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5254
(Robert Collins)
5255
5256
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5257
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5258
5259
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5260
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5261
check. (Robert Collins)
5262
5263
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5264
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5265
5266
TESTING:
5267
5268
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5269
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5270
5271
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5272
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5273
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5274
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5275
5276
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5277
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5278
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5279
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5280
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5281
5282
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5283
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5284
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5285
5286
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5287
5288
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5289
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5290
5291
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5292
------------------
5293
5294
CHANGES:
5295
5296
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5297
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5298
5299
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5300
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5301
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5302
(Johan Rydberg)
5303
5304
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5305
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5306
5307
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5308
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5309
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5310
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5311
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5312
5313
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5314
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5315
used. (Robert Collins)
5316
5317
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5318
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5319
(James Henstridge)
5320
5321
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5322
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5323
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5324
5325
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5326
ignore list.
5327
5328
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5329
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5330
5331
IMPROVEMENTS:
5332
5333
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5334
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5335
5336
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5337
5338
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5339
5340
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5341
tree. (Robert Collins)
5342
5343
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5344
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5345
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5346
(Robert Collins)
5347
5348
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5349
that they be kept.
5350
5351
* Tweaks to short log printing
5352
5353
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5354
(Aaron Bentley)
5355
5356
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5357
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5358
5359
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5360
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5361
5362
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5363
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5364
5365
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5366
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5367
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5368
5369
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5370
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5371
5372
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5373
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5374
requests.
5375
5376
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5377
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5378
5379
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5380
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5381
5382
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5383
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5384
5385
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5386
(Denys Duchier)
5387
5388
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5389
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5390
5391
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5392
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5393
5394
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5395
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5396
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5397
5398
BUG FIXES:
5399
5400
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5403
5404

* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5410
5411
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5412
5413
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5414
ignored by diff and status
5415
5416
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5417
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5418
5419

5420
5421
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5422
5423
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5424
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5425
5426
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5427
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5428
5429
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5430
(Harald Meland)
5431
5432
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5433
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5434
5435
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5436
5437
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5438
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5439
5440
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5441
(Martin Pool)
5442
5443
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5444
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5445
5446
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5447
5448
TESTING:
5449
5450
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5451
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5452
5453

5454
5455
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5456
5457
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5458
5459
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5460
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5461
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5462
5463
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5464
5465
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5466
(John Arbash Meinel)
5467
5468
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5469
5470
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5471
If adding a new test script please add that to
5472
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5473
5474
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5475
imported. (Martin Pool)
5476
5477
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5478
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5479
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5480
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5481
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5482
(Robert Collins)
5483
5484
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5485
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5486
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5487
5488
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5489
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5490
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5491
5492
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5493
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5494
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5495
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5496
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5497
(Robert Collins).
5498
5499
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5500
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5501
(Robert Collins).
5502
5503
INTERNALS:
5504
5505
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5506
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5507
5508
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5509
function. (Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5512
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5513
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5514
5515
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5516
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5517
(Robert Collins)
5518
5519
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5520
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5521
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5522
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5523
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5524
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5525
version. (Robert Collins)
5526
5527
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5528
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5529
5530
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5531
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5532
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5533
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5534
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5535
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5536
5537
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5538
(Robert Collins)
5539
5540
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5541
5542
add()
5543
commit()
5544
move()
5545
rename_one()
5546
unknowns()
5547
5548
(Robert Collins)
5549
5550
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5551
5552
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5553
5554
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5555
Pool)
5556
5557
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5558
query method. (Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5561
(Denys Duchier)
5562
5563
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5564
(Michael Ellerman)
5565
5566
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5567
(Michael Ellerman)
5568
5569
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5570
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5571
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5572
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5573
5574
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5575
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5576
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5577
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5578
5579
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5580
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5585
IMPROVEMENTS:
5586
5587
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5588
(John A Meinel)
5589
5590
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5591
conflicts.
5592
(Aaron Bentley)
5593
5594
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5595
a separator, not ':'.
5596
(Aaron Bentley)
5597
5598
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5599
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5600
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5601
5602
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5603
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5604
(Robert Collins)
5605
5606
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5607
has been added that suppresses all output.
5608
5609
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5610
Adams.
5611
5612
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5613
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5614
5615
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5616
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5617
5618
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5619
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5620
5621
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5622
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5623
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5624
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5625
5626
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5627
5628
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5629
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5632
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5633
5634
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5635
output directory, if one was supplied.
5636
5637
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5638
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5639
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5640
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5641
5642
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5643
5644
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5645
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5646
5647
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5648
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5649
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5650
5651
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5652
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5653
5654
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5655
(Aaron Bentley)
5656
5657
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5658
5659
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5660
5661
TESTING:
5662
5663
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5664
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5665
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5666
5667
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5668
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5669
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5670
5671
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5672
is given. (Martin Pool)
5673
5674
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5675
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5676
file. (Robert Collins)
5677
5678
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5679
(Martin Pool)
5680
5681
INTERNALS:
5682
5683
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5684
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5685
representation. (Martin Pool).
5686
5687
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5688
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5689
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5690
5691
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5692
(Robert Collins)
5693
5694
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5695
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5696
Magnus Therning.
5697
5698
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5699
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5700
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5701
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5702
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5703
5704
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5705
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5706
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5707
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5708
python path. (Robert Collins)
5709
5710
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5711
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5712
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5713
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5716
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5717
5718
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5719
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5720
(Robert Collins)
5721
5722
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5723
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5724
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5725
5726
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5727
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5728
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5729
5730
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5731
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5732
5733
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5734
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5735
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5736
(Robert Collins)
5737
5738
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5739
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5740
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5741
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5742
(Robert Collins)
5743
5744
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5745
(Robert Collins)
5746
5747
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5748
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5749
(Robert Collins)
5750
5751
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5752
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5753
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5754
5755
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5756
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5757
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5758
5759
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5760
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5761
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5764
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5765
5766
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5767
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5768
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5769
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5770
caller. (Robert Collins)
5771
5772
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5773
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5774
(Robert Collins).
5775
5776
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5777
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5778
(Aaron Bentley)
5779
5780
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5781
5782
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5783
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5784
5785
BUG FIXES:
5786
5787
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5788
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5789
5790
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5791
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5794
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5795
--------------------
5796
5797
BUG FIXES:
5798
5799
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5800
allow directories to be listed.
5801
5802
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5803
upgrading branch format.
5804
5805
PERFORMANCE:
5806
5807
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5811
------------------
5812
5813
NOTES:
5814
5815
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5816
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5817
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5818
high-latency connections.
5819
5820
BUG FIXES:
5821
5822
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5823
Rob Weir.
5824
5825
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5826
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5827
5828
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5829
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5830
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5831
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5832
5833
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5834
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5835
5836
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5837
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5838
5839
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5840
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5841
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5842
5843
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5844
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5845
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5846
Robert Collins
5847
5848
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5849
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5850
5851
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5852
different partial views of history.
5853
5854
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5855
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5856
5857
IMPROVEMENTS:
5858
5859
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5860
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5861
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5862
5863
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5864
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5865
'bzr upgrade'.
5866
5867
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5868
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5869
5870
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5871
Niemeyer.
5872
5873
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5874
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5875
5876
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5877
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5878
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5879
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5880
5881
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5882
5883
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5884
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5885
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5886
5887
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5888
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5889
5890
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5891
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5892
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5893
5894
5895
INTERNALS:
5896
5897
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5898
for your viewing pleasure.
5899
5900
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5901
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5902
5903
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5904
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5905
handling of such circumstances.
5906
5907
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5908
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5909
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5910
5911
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5912
5913
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5914
we call them revisions not patches.
5915
5916
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5917
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5918
5919
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5920
giving the revision *of that file*.
5921
5922
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5923
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5924
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5925
5926
TESTING:
5927
5928
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5929
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5930
5931
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5932
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

5941
5942

* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5948
5949
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5950
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5951
5952
IMPROVEMENTS:
5953
5954
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5955
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5956
5957
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5958
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5959
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5960
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5961
Robey Pointer
5962
5963
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5964
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5965
5966
INTERNALS:
5967
5968
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5969
5970
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5971
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

5985
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5986
(Nir Soffer)
5987
5988
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5989
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5990
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5991
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5992
for the operating system is still tried.
5993
5994
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5995
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5996
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
