CHANGES:

12
IMPROVEMENTS:
13
14
BUG FIXES:
15
16
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
17
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
18
19
API CHANGES:
20
21
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
22
23
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
24
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
25
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
26
(Robert Collins)
27
28
TESTING:
29
30
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
31
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
32
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
33
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
34
35
INTERNALS:
36
37
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
38
is unknown in both source and target.

(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)

bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
43
---------------------
44
45
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
46
fixes for Windows.
47
48
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
49
(Robert Collins)
50
51
BUG FIXES:
52
53
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
54
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
55
56
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
57
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
58
(Aaron Bentley)
59
60
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
61
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
62
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
63
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
64
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
65
66
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
67
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
68
69
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
70
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
71
72
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
73
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
74
75
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
76
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
77
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
78
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
79
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
80
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
81
82
83
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
84
---------------------
85
86
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
87
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
88
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
89
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
90
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
91
92
CHANGES:
93
94
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
95
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
96
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
97
98
IMPROVEMENTS:
99
100
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
101
check. (Daniel Watkins)
102
103
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
104
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
105
106
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
107
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
108
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
109
110
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
111
(James Westby)
112
113
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
114
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
115
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
116
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
117
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
118
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
119
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
120
121
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
122
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
123
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
124
125
BUG FIXES:
126
127
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
128
physical repository boundaries.
129
(Martin Pool, #252428)
130
131
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
132
(Martin Pool, #206258)
133
134
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
135
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
136
(Martin Pool)
137
138
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
139
(Ian Clatworthy)
140
141
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
142
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
143
that Python is running from.
144
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
145
146
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
147
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
148
(Robert Collins, #150438)
149
150
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
151
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
152
153
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
154
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
155
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
156
157
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
158
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
159
160
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
161
(James Westby, #248448)
162
163
API CHANGES:
164
165
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
166
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
167
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
168
(Robert Collins)
169
170
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
171
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
172
(Robert Collins)
173
174
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
175
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
176
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
177
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
178
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
179
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
180
(Robert Collins)
181
182
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
183
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
184
185
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
186
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
187
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
188
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
189
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
190
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
191
192
INTERNALS:
193
194
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
195
putting together a real history without having to create a full
196
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
197
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
198
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
199
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
200
201
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
202
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
203
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
206
(Ian Clatworthy)
207
208
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
209
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
210
211
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
212
(Ian Clatworthy)
213
214
215
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
216
-----------------------
217
218
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
219
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
220
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
221
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
222
bug fixes.
223
224
FEATURES:
225
226
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
227
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
228
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
229
230
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
231
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
232
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
233
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
234
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
235
(Ian Clatworthy)
236
237
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
238
239
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
240
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
241
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
242
(Robert Collins)
243
244
IMPROVEMENTS:
245
246
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
247
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
248
(Martin Pool)
249
250
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
251
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
252
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
253
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
254
255
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
256
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
257
(Christophe Troestler)
258
259
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
260
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
261
262
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
263
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
264
faster. The new request method name is
265
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
266
267
BUG FIXES:
268
269
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
270
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
271
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
272
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
273
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
274
275
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
276
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
277
278
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
279
requires a branch to be present.
280
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
281
282
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
283
loaded.
284
(Martin Pool, #205230)
285
286
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
287
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
288
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
289
(Martin Pool, #240161)
290
291
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
292
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
293
294
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
295
name contains an @.
296
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
297
298
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
299
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
300
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
301
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
302
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
303
304
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
305
(Martin Pool, #172870)
306
307
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
308
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
309
310
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
311
Cygwin Bazaar.
312
(Matt McClure, #209281)
313
314
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
315
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
316
317
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
318
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
319
320
DOCUMENTATION:
321
322
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
323
(Ian Clatworthy)
324
325
* Updated developer documentation.
326
(Martin Pool)
327
328
TESTING:
329
330
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
331
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
332
333
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
334
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
335
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
336
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
337
338
API CHANGES:
339
340
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
341
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
342
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
343
Repository docstring for more details.
344
(Robert Collins)
345
346
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
347
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
348
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
349
350
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
351
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
352
(Daniel Watkins)
353
354
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
355
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
356
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
357
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
358
359
INTERNALS:
360
361
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
362
(Alexander Belchenko)
363
364
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
365
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
366
containing a given location.
367
(Daniel Watkins)
368
369
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
370
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
371
storage. (Robert Collins)
372
373
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
374
(Robert Collins)
375
376
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
377
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
378
(Robert Collins)
379
380
381
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
382
-----------------------
383
384
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
385
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
386
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
387
now faster.
388
389
BUG FIXES:
390
391
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
392
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
393
reading from the repository.)
394
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
395
396
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
397
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
398
399
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
400
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
401
(Andrew Bennetts)
402
403
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
404
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
405
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
408
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
409
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
410
411
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
412
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
413
414
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
415
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
416
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
418
419
IMPROVEMENTS:
420
421
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
422
423
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
424
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
425
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
426
(Adrian Wilkins)
427
428
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
429
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
430
431
DOCUMENTATION:
432
433
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
434
435
TESTING:
436
437
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
438
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
439
440
API CHANGES:
441
442
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
443
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
444
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
445
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
446
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
447
448
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
449
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
450
451
INTERNALS:
452
453
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
454
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
455
456
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
457
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
461
-----------------------
462
463
464
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
465
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
466
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
467
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
468
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
469
and future extensions.
470
471
472
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
473
474
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
475
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
476
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
477
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
478
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
479
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
480
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
481
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
482
483
CHANGES:
484
485
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
486
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
487
(John Arbash Meinel)
488
489
FEATURES:
490
491
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
492
load. (James Westby)
493
494
IMPROVEMENTS:
495
496
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
497
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
498
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
499
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
500
501
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
502
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
503
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
504
505
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
506
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
507
508
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
509
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
510
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
511
512
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
513
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
514
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
515
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
516
step closer to not using full revision history.
517
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
518
519
BUGFIXES:
520
521
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
522
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
523
524
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
525
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
526
527
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
528
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
529
530
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
531
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
532
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
533
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
534
535
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
536
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
537
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
538
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
539
540
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
541
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
542
in use by another process.
543
(Martin Pool)
544
545
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
546
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
547
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
548
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
549
550
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
551
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
552
553
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
554
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
556
557
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
558
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
560
561
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
562
them.
563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
564
565
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
566
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
567
568
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
569
under vim on Mac OS X.
570
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
571
572
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
573
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
574
575
DOCUMENTATION:
576
577
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
578
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
579
580
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
581
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
582
(Ian Clatworthy)
583
584
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
585
and about use of Python reprs.
586
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
587
588
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
589
590
TESTING:
591
592
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
593
(Robert Collins)
594
595
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
596
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
597
598
* New helper function for splitting test suites
599
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
600
601
INTERNALS:
602
603
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
604
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
605
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
606
(John Arbash Meinel)
607
608
API CHANGES:
609
610
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
611
instead. (Martin Pool)
612
613
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
614
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
615
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
616
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
617
618
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
619
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
620
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
621
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
622
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
623
624
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
625
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
626
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
627
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
628
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
629
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
630
631
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
632
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
633
(Martin Pool)
634
635
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
636
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
637
(Robert Collins)
638
639
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
640
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
641
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
642
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
643
644
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
645
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
646
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
647
648
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
649
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
650
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
651
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
652
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
653
(Martin Pool)
654
655
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
656
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
657
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
658
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
659
(Robert Collins)
660
661
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
662
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
663
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
664
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
665
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
666
667
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
668
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
672
------------------
673
674
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
675
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
676
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
677
678
CHANGES:
679
680
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
681
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
682
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
683
684
DOCUMENTATION:
685
686
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
687
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

692
---------------------
693
694
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
695
696
CHANGES:
697
698
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
699
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
700
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
701
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
702
703
FEATURES:
704
705
IMPROVEMENTS:
706
707
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
708
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
709
710
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
711
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
712
713
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
714
(Aaron Bentley)
715
716
BUGFIXES:
717
718
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
720
721
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
722
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
723
724
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
725
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
726
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
727
728
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
729
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
730
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
731
732
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
733
(Andreas Deininger)
734
735
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
737
738
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
739
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
740
741
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
742
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
743
744
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
745
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
746
747
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
748
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
750
751
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
752
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
753
754
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
755
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
756
757
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
758
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
759
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
760
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
761
762
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
763
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
764
(Martin Pool)
765
766
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
767
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
768
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
769
770
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
771
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
772
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
773
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
774
every revision each side had in common.
775
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
776
777
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
778
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
779
780
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
781
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
782
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
783
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
784
785
DOCUMENTATION:
786
787
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
788
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
789
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
790
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
791
792
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
793
794
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
795
796
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
798
799
TESTING:
800
801
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
802
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
803
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
804
805
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
806
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
807
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
808
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
809
810
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
811
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
812
813
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
814
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
815
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
816
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
817
818
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
819
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
820
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
821
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
822
823
INTERNALS:
824
825
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
826
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
827
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
828
829
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
830
831
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
832
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
833
834
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
835
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
836
837
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
838
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
839
840
API CHANGES:
841
842
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
843
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
844
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
845
846
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
847
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
848
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
849
(Aaron Bentley)
850
851
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
852
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
853
(Martin Pool)
854
855
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
860
------------------
861
862
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
863
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
864
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
865
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
866
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
867
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
868
and faster performance.
869
870
BUG FIXES:
871
872
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break

883
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
884
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
885
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
886
887
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
888
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
889
890
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
891
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
892
893
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
894
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
895
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was

another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
902
---------------------
903
904
CHANGES:
905
906
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
907
908
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
909
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
910
911
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
912
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
913
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
914
915
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
916
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
917
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
918
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
919
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
920
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
921
Andrew Cowie)
922
923
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
924
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
925
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
926
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
927
928
FEATURES:
929
930
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
931
932
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
933
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
934
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
935
936
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
937
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
938
See the User Reference for signature details.
939
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
940
941
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
942
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
943
944
IMPROVEMENTS:
945
946
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
947
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
948
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
949
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
950
951
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
952
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
953
954
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
955
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
956
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
957
Wouter van Heyst)
958
959
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
960
(Chad Miller)
961
962
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
963
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
964
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
965
966
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
967
(Aaron Bentley)
968
969
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
970
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
971
972
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
973
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
974
975
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
976
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
977
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
978
979
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
980
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
981
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
982
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
983
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
984
985
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
986
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
987
988
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
989
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
990
991
BUGFIXES:
992
993
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
994
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
995
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
996
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
997
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
998
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
999
1000
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1001
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1002
1003
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1004
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1005
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1006
1007
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1008
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1009
1010
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1011
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1012
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1013
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1014
1015
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1016
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1017
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1018
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1019
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1020
1021
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1022
1023
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1024
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1025
1026
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1027
1028
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1029
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1030
1031
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1032
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1035
1036
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1037
1038
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1039
1040
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1041
1042
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1043
1044
API BREAKS:
1045
1046
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1047
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1048
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1049
1050
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1051
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1052
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1053
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1056
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1057
release. (James Westby)
1058
1059
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1060
(Andrew Bennetts)
1061
1062
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1063
1064
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1065
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1066
1067
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1068
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1069
1070
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1071
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1072
1073
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1074
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1075
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1076
1077
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1078
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1079
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1080
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1083
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1084
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1085
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1086
1087
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1088
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1089
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1090
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1091
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1092
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1093
1094
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1095
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1096
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1099
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1102
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1103
(Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1106
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1109
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1110
1111
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1112
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1113
1114
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1115
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1116
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1117
1118
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1119
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1120
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1121
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1122
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1123
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1124
1125
TESTING:
1126
1127
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1128
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1129
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1130
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1131
1132
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1133
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1134
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1135
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1136
implement this).
1137
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1138
1139
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1140
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1142
1143
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1144
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1145
1146
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1147
1148
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1149
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1150
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1151
1152
INTERNALS:
1153
1154
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1155
1156
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1157
(Martin Albisetti)
1158
1159
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1160
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1161
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1162
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1163
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1164
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1165
1166
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1167
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1168
1169
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1170
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1171
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1172
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1173
1174
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1175
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1178
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
1200
1201
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1202
1203
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1204
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1205
features have been added.
1206

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1218
1219
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1220
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1221
1222
CHANGES:
1223
1224
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1225
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1226
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1227
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1228
(Robert Collins)
1229
1230
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1231
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1232
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1233
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1234
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1235
(Alexander Belchenko)
1236
1237
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1238
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1239
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1240
(Alexander Belchenko)
1241
1242
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1243
1244
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1245
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1246
1247
FEATURES:
1248
1249
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1250
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1251
1252
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1253
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1254
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1255
1256
IMPROVEMENTS:
1257
1258
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1259
1260
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1261
1262
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1263
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1264
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1265
1266
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1267
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1268
1269
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1270
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1271
1272
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1273
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1274
(Alexander Belchenko)
1275
1276
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1277
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1278
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1279
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1280
1281
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1282
(Daniel Watkins)
1283
1284
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1285
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1286
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1287
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1288
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1289
1290
BUGFIXES:
1291
1292
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1293
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1294
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1295
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1296
1297
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1298
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1299
1300
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1301
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1302

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1304
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

1306
1307
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1308

1309
1310
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1311

1313
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1314
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1315
1316
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1317
1318
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1319
1320
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1321
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1322
1323
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1324
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1327
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1328
1329
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1330
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1331
1332
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1333
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1334
1335
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1336
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)

(Alexander Belchenko)
1348
1349
TESTING:
1350
1351
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1352
1353
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1354
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1355
(Robert Collins)
1356
1357
INTERNALS:
1358
1359
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1360
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1361
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1362
1363
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1364
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1365
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1366
(Alexander Belchenko)
1367
1368
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1369
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1370
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1371
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1372
1373
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1374
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1375
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1376
(Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1379
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1380
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1381
1382
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1383
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1384
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1385
1386
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1387
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1388
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1389
format. (Robert Collins)

* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1406
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1407
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1408
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1409
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.

CHANGES:
1413
1414
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1415
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1418
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1419
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1420
1421
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1422
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1423
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1424
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1425
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1426
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1427
(Aaron Bentley)
1428
1429
FEATURES:
1430
1431
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1432
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1435
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1436
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1437
(Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1440
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1441
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1442
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1443
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1444
1445
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1446
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1447
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1448
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1449
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1450
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1451
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1452
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1453
1454
IMPROVEMENTS:
1455
1456
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1457
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1458
1459
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1460
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1461
1462
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1463
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1464
1465
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1466
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1467
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1470
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1471
(John Arbash Meinel)
1472
1473
BUGFIXES:
1474
1475
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1476
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1477
1478
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1479
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1480
1481
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1482
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1483
1484
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1485
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1486
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1487
1488
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1489
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1490
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1491
1492
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1493
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1494
1495
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1496
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1497
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1498
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1499
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1500
unittest runner.
1501
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1502
1503
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1504
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1505
#185907)
1506
1507
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1508
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1509
1510
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1511
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1512
1513
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1515
1516
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1517
more characters which should be considered valid.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1519
1520
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1521
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1522
1523
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1524
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1525
1526
API BREAKS:
1527
1528
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1529
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1530
1531
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1532
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1533
(Martin Pool)
1534
1535
TESTING:
1536
1537
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1538
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1539
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1540
1541
INTERNALS:
1542
1543
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1544
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1545
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1546
1547
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1548
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1549
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1550
1551
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1552
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1553
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1554
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1555
1556
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1557
1558
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1559
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1560
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1561
server. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1564
operate. (Robert Collins)
1565
1566
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1567
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1568
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1571
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1572
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1573
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1576
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1577
1578
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1579
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1580
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1583
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1584
1585
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1586
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1587
1588
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1589
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1590
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1591
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1598
1599
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1600
---------------------
1601
1602
CHANGES:
1603
1604
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1605
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1606
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1607
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1608
1609
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1610
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1611
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1612
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1613
1614
FEATURES:
1615
1616
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1617
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1618
1619
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1620
(Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1623
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1624
1625
IMPROVEMENTS:
1626
1627
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1628
#90049)
1629
1630
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1631
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1632
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1633
1634
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1635
1636
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1637
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1638
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1639
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1640
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1641
1642
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1643
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1644
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1645
1646
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1647
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1648
1649
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1650
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1651
1652
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1653
1654
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1655
1656
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1657
(Aaron Bentley)
1658
1659
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1660
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1661
1662
BUGFIXES:
1663
1664
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1665
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1666
1667
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1669
1670
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1671
(Aaron Bentley)
1672
1673
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1674
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1675
1676
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1677
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1678
1679
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1680
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1681
1682
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1683
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1684
1685
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1686
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1687
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1688
1689
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1691
1692
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1693
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1694
(Aaron Bentley)
1695
1696
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1697
1698
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1699
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1701
1702
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1703
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1704
1705
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1706
(Aaron Bentley)
1707
1708
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1709
#148087)
1710
1711
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1712
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1713
1714
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1715
#137681)
1716
1717
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1718
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1719
(Aaron Bentley)
1720
1721
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1722
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1724
1725
DOCUMENTATION:
1726
1727
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1728
(Ian Clatworthy)
1729
1730
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1731
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1732
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1733
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1734
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1735
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1736
1737
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1738
1739
INTERNALS:
1740
1741
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1742

1743
1744
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1745
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1746
1747
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1750
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1751
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1752
Robert Collins)
1753
1754
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1755
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1756
1757
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1758
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1759
1760
API BREAKS:
1761
1762
TESTING:
1763
1764
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1765
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1766
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1767
1768
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1769
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1770
(Robert Collins)
1771
1772
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1773
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1774
1775
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1776
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1777
1778
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1779
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1780
1781
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1782
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1783
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1784
1785
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1786
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1787
1788
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1789
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1790
1791
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1792
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1793
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1794
1795
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1796
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1799
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1830
1831
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1832
1833
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1834
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1835
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1836
feedback but also incur more latency.
1837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1838

1870
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1871
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1872
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``

Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1880
1881
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1882
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1883
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1884
1885
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1886
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1887
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1888
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1889
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1890
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1891
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1892
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1893
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1906
1907
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1908
filename to user.
1909
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1910
1911
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1912
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1913
required.
1914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1915
1916
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1917
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1920
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

---------------------
1930
1931
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1932
1933
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1934
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1935
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1936
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1937
1938
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1939
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1940
1941
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1942
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1943
1944
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1945
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1946
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1947
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1948
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1949
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1950
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1951
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1952
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1953
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1954
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1955
from any tree without problems.
1956
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1957
1958
CHANGES:
1959
1960
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1961
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1962
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1963
1964
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1965
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1966
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1967
(Martin Pool)
1968
1969
FEATURES:
1970
1971
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1972
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1973
supported transports.
1974
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1975
1976
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1977
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1978
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1979
1980
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1981
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1982
1983
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1984
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1985
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1986
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1987
1988
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1989
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1990
1991
PERFORMANCE:
1992
1993
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1994
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1995
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1996
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1997
1998
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1999
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2000
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2001
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2002
2003
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2004
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2005
2006
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2007
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2008
2009
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2010
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2011
2012
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2013
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2014
(Aaron Bentley)
2015
2016
IMPROVEMENTS:
2017
2018
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2019
(Aaron Bentley)
2020
2021
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2022
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2023
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2024
2025
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2026
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2027
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2028
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2029
2030
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2031
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2032
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2033
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2040
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2041
2042
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2043
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2044
2045
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2046
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2047
2048
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2050
2051
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2052
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2053
2054
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2056
2057
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

2060
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2061
(Aaron Bentley)
2062
2063
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2065
2066
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2067
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2069
2070
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2071
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2072
2073
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2074
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2075
2076
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2077
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2078
2079
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2081
2082
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2083
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2084
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2085
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2086
on them.
2087
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2088
2089
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2090
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2092
2093
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2094
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2095
2096
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2097
to be reconciled.
2098
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2099
2100
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2101
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2102
2103
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2104
specify a port in urls.
2105
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2106
2107
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2108
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2109
2110
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2111
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2112
2113
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2114
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2115
2116
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2117
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2118
2119
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2120
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2121
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2122
2123
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2124
2125
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2126
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2127
2128
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2129
Watkins, #152811)
2130
2131
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2132
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2133
2134
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2135
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2136
2137
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2138
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2139
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2140
2141
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2142
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2143
2144
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2145
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2146
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2147
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2148
2149
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2150
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2151
2152
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2153
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2154
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2155
2156
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2157
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2158
2159
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2161
2162
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2164
2165
API BREAKS:
2166
2167
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2168
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2169
2170
* The return value of
2171
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2172
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2173
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2174
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2175
2176
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2177
(Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2180
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2181
format.
2182
(Martin Pool)
2183
2184
INTERNALS:
2185
2186
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2187
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2188
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2189
Bennetts)
2190
2191
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2192
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2193
2194
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2210
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2211
2212
CHANGES:
2213
2214
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2215
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2216
2217
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2218
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2219
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2220
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2221
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2222
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2223
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2224
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2225
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2226
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2227
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2228
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2229
(Robert Collins)
2230
2231
FEATURES:
2232
2233
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2234
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2235
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2236
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2237
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2238
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2239
2240
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2241
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2242
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2243
(Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2246
2247
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2248
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2249
2250
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2251
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2252
(Aaron Bentley)
2253
2254
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2255
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2256
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2257
2258
PERFORMANCE:
2259
2260
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2261
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2262
2263
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2264
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2267
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2268
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2269
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2272
(Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2275
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2276
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2277
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2280
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2283
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2286
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2289
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2290
2291
IMPROVEMENTS:
2292
2293
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2294
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2295
2296
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2297
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2298
2299
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2300
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2301
2302
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2303
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2304
2305
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2306
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2307
2308
DOCUMENTATION:
2309
2310
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2311
2312
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2313
(Ian Clatworthy)
2314
2315
BUG FIXES:
2316
2317
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2318
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2319
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2320
2321
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2322
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2323
2324
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2325
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2326
2327
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2328
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2329
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2330
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2331
2332
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2333
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2334
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2335
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2336
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2337
2338
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2339
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2340
paramiko.

* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2344
2345
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2346
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2347
2348
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2350
2351
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2353
2354
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2355
contains a symbolic link.
2356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2357
2358
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2359
(James Westby, #140615)
2360
2361
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2362
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2364
2365
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2366
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2367
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2368
2369
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2370
2371
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2373
2374
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2375
will remain opened.
2376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2377
2378
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2379
directory to detect leaking tests.
2380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2381
2382
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2383
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2384
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2385
2386
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2387
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2388
2389
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2390
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2393
Merwe)
2394
2395
API BREAKS:
2396
2397
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2398
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2401
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2402
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2405
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2406
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2409
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2410
2411
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2412
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2413
2414
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2415
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2416
(Martin Pool)
2417
2418
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2419
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2422
class that needs it.
2423
(Martin Pool)
2424
2425
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2426
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2429
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2430
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2431
2432
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2433
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2434
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2435
(Robert Collins)
2436
2437
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2438
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2439
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2440
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2441
(Robert Collins)
2442
2443
INTERNALS:
2444
2445
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2446
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2447
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2450
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2451
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2452
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2455
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2456
(Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2459
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2460
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2463
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2464
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2465
2466
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2467
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2470
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2471
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2474
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2477
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2478
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2481
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2482
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2485
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2486
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2487
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2490
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2491
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2492
returned. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2495
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2496
2497
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2498
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2499
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2500
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2501
(Robert Collins)
2502
2503
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2504
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2505
2506
TESTING:
2507
2508
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2509
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2510
2511
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2512
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2513
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2514
makes this behavior available to other users.
2515
(Martin Pool)
2516
2517
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2518
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2519
2520
2521
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2522
-------------------
2523
2524
BUG FIXES:
2525
2526
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2527
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2528
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2529
2530
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2531
2532
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2533
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2534
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2535
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2536
2537
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2538
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2539
(Andrew Bennetts)
2540
2541
2542
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2543
----------------------
2544
2545
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2546
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2547
2548
2549
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2550
----------------------
2551
2552
CHANGES:
2553
2554
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2555
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2556
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2557
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2558
(Martin Pool)
2559
2560
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2561
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2562
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2563
(Ian Clatworthy)
2564
2565
FEATURES:
2566
2567
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2568
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2569
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2570
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2571
2572
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2573
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2574
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2575
2576
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2577
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2578
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2579
2580
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2581
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2582
2583
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2584
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2585
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2586
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2587
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2588
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2589
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2590
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2591
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2592
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2593
2594
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2595
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2596
2597
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2598
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2599
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2600
2601
BUG FIXES:
2602
2603
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2604
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2605
2606
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2607
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2608
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2609
2610
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2611
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2612
2613
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2614
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2615
2616
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2617
(Aaron Bentley)
2618
2619
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2620
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2621
2622
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2623
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2624
2625
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2626
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2627
2628
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2629
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2630
2631
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2632
2633
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2634
Watkins, #106726)
2635
2636
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2637
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2638
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2639
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2640
2641
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2642
2643
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2644
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2645
#133548)
2646
2647
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2648
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2649
2650
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2651
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2652
#116143)
2653
2654
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2655
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2658
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2659
2660
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2661
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2662
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2663
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2664
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2665
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2666
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2667
2668
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2669
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2670
2671
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2672
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2673
2674
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2675
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2676
2677
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2679
2680
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2681
connections.
2682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2683
2684
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2685
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2686
2687
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2688
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2689
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2690
2691
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2692
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2693
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2694
2695
IMPROVEMENTS:
2696
2697
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2698
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2699
2700
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2701
(Aaron Bentley)
2702
2703
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2704
(Aaron Bentley)
2705
2706
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2707
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2708
2709
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2710
2711
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2712
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2713
2714
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2715
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2716
2717
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2718
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2719
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2720
space). (Robert Collins)
2721
2722
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2723
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2724
(Ian Clatworthy)
2725
2726
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2727
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2728
2729
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2730
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2731
2732
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2733
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2734
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2735
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2736
2737
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2738
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2739
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2740
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2741
2742
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2743
(Ian Clatworthy)
2744
2745
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2746
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2747
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2748
2749
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2750
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2751
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2752
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2753
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2754
2755
API BREAKS:
2756
2757
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2758
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2759
2760
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2761
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2762
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2763
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2764
affected. (Robert Collins)
2765
2766
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2767
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2768
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2769
(Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2772
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2773
2774
TESTING:
2775
2776
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2777
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2778
2779
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2780
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2781
2782
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2783
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2784
2785
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2786
(Aaron Bentley)
2787
2788
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2789
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2790
2791
INTERNALS:
2792
2793
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2794
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2795
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2796
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2797
2798
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2799
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2800
2801
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2802
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2803
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2804
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2805
2806
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2807
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2808
present. (Robert Collins)
2809
2810
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2811
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2812
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2813
API. (Robert Collins)
2814
2815
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2816
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2817
(Robert Collins)
2818
2819
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2820
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2821
2822
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2823
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2824
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2825
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2826
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2827
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2830
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2831
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2832
2833
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2834
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2835
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2836
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2837
protocol.
2838
2839
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2840
(Aaron Bentley)
2841
2842
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2843
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2844
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2845
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2846
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2847
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2848
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2849
2850
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2851
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2852
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2853
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2854
2855
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2856
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2857
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2858
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2859
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2860
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2861
2862
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2863
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2864
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2865
2866
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2867
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2868

2871
-------------------
2872
2873
IMPROVEMENTS:
2874
2875
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2876
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2877
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2878
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2879
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2880
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2881
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2882
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2883
2884
2885
API CHANGES:
2886
2887
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2888
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2889
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2890
2891
2892
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2893
----------------------
2894
2895
BUGFIXES:
2896
2897
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2898
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2899
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2900
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2901
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2902
2903
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2905
2906
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2907
anymore.
2908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2909
2910
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2911
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2912
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2913
2914
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2915
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2916
#111664)
2917
2918
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2919
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2920
2921
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2922
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2923
2924
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2925
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2926
2927
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2928
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2929
2930
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2931
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2932
2933
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2934
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2935
2936
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2937
(Aaron Bentley)
2938
2939
IMPROVEMENTS:
2940
2941
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2942
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2943
2944
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2945
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2946
2947
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2948
the repository (Robert Collins)
2949
2950
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2951
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2952
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2953
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2954
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2955
2956
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2957
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2958
2959
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2960
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2961
(John Arbash Meinel)
2962
2963
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2964
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2965
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2966
about 10%).
2967
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2968
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2969
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2970
(John Arbash Meinel)
2971
2972
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2973
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2974
(Robert Collins)
2975
2976
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2977
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2978
2979
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2980
(Ian Clatworthy)
2981
2982
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2983
2984
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2987
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2988
2989
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2990
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2991
Meinel)
2992
2993
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2994
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2995
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2996
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2997
2998
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2999
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3000
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3001
3002
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3003
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3004
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3005
3006
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3007
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3008
3009
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3010
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3011
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3012
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3013
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3014
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3015
(Ian Clatworthy)
3016
3017
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3018
(Alexander Belchenko)
3019
3020
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3021
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3022
3023
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3024
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3025
3026
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3027
3028
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3029
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3030
3031
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3032
3033
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3034
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3035
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3036
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3037
3038
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3039
3040
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3041
(Robert Collins)
3042
3043
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3044
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3045
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3046
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3047
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3048
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3049
3050
INTERNALS:
3051
3052
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3053
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3054
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3055
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3056
3057
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3058
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3059
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3060
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3061
tests have been refactored too.
3062
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3063
3064
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3065
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3066
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3067
list, it will.
3068
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3069
3070
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3071
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3072
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3073
3074
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3075
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3076
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3077
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3078
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3079
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3080
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3081
3082
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3083
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3084
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3085
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3086
(John Arbash Meinel)
3087
3088
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3089
functionality for testing.
3090
3091
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3092
3093
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3094
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3095
3096
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3097
3098
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3099
(Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3102
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3103
3104
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3105
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3106
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3109
(Aaron Bentley)
3110
3111
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3112
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3113
3114
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3115
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3116
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3117
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3118
3119
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3120
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3121
3122
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3123
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3124
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3125
3126
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3127
(Marius Kruger)
3128
3129
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3130
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3131
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3132
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3133
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3134
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3135
3136
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3137
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3138
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3139
many files. (Robert Collins)
3140
3141
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3142
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3143
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3144
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
TESTING:
3147
3148
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3149
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3150
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3151
3152
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3153
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3154
3155
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3156
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3157
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3172
3173
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3174
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3175
3176
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3177
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3178
(James Westby, #122656)
3179
3180
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3181
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3182
3183
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3184
authentication header.
3185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3186
3187
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3188
3189
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3190
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3191
3192
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3193
3194
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3196
3197
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3198
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3200
3201
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3202
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3203
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3204
3205
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3206
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3207
3208
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3210
3211
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3212
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3213
3214
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3215
3216
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3217
3218
IMPROVEMENTS:
3219
3220
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3221
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3222
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3223
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3224
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3225
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3226
3227
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3228
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3229
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3230
3231
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3232
(Elliot Murphy)
3233
3234
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3235
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3236
3237
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3238
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3239
3240
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3241
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3242
3243
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3244
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3245
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3246
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3247
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3248
3249
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3250
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3251
3252
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3253
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3254
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3255
3256
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3257
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3258
3259
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3260
3261
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3262
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3263
3264
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3265
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3266
(Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3269
(Martin Pool)
3270
3271
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3272
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3273
3274
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3275
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3276
3277
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3279
3280
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3281
3282
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3283
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3284
3285
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3286
(Andrew Bennetts)
3287
3288
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3289
3290
* Testing cleanups -
3291
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3292
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3293
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3294
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3295
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3296
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3297
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3298
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3299
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3300
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3301
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3302
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3303
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3304
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3305
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3306
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3307
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3308
(Robert Collins)
3309
3310
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3311
3312
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3313
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3314
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3317
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3320
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3321
3322
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3323
3324
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3325
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3326
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3327
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3328
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3329
same location. (Robert Collins)
3330
3331
INTERNALS:
3332
3333
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3334
3335
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3336
3337
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3338
3339
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3340
(Martin Pool)
3341
3342
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3343
(Martin Pool)
3344
3345
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3346
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3347
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3348
3349
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3350
3351
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3352
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3353
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3354
3355
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3356
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3357
3358
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3359
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3360
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3361
3362
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3363
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3364
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3365
3366
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3367
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3368
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3369
3370
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3371
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3372
Martin Pool)
3373
3374
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3375
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3376
3377
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3378
(Alexander Belchenko)
3379
3380
TESTING:
3381
3382
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3383
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3384
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3385
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3386
3387
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3388
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3389
testing. (Robert Collins)
3390
3391
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3392
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3393
3394
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3395
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3396
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3397
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3398
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3399
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3400
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3401
3402
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3403
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3404
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3405
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3406
3407
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3408
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3409
3410
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3411
avoid useless cloning.

3430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3431
3432
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3433
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3434
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3435
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3436
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3437
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3438
and unlock() like so::
3439
3440
work_tree.lock_read()
3441
try:
3442
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3443
finally:
3444
work_tree.unlock()
3445
3446
INTERNALS:
3447
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3448
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3449
object.
3450
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3451
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3452
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3453
3454
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3455
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3456
too. (Robert Collins)
3457
3458
IMPROVEMENTS:
3459
3460
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3461
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3462
Aaron Bentley)
3463
3464
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3465
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3466
3467
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3468
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
3470
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3471
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3472
understanding what changes have occurred
3473
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3474
3475
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3476
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3477
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3478
3479
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3480
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3481
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3482
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3483
3484
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3485
#56322)
3486
3487
BUGFIXES:
3488
3489
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3490
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3491
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3492
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3493
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3494
3495
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3496
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3497
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3498
3499
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3501
3502
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3503
into account.
3504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3505
3506
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3507
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3508
3509
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3510
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3511
3512
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3513
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3514
3515
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3516
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3517
3518
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3519
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3520
3521
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3522
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3523
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3526
--------------------
3527
3528
BUGFIXES:
3529
3530
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3531
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3532
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3533
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3535
3536
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3537
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3538
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3539
3540
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3541
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3542
3543
IMPROVEMENTS:
3544
3545
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3546
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3547
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3548
3549
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3550
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3551
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3552
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3555
-----------------------
3556
3557
BUGFIXES:
3558
3559
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3560
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3561
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3562
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3563
3564
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3565
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3566
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3567
3568
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3569
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3570
3571
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3572
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3573
3574
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3575
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3577
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3578
-----------------------
3579
3580
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3581
3582
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3583
it could be recovered again.
3584
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3585
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3586
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3587
but not delete it.
3588
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3589
files.
3590
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3591
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3592
3593
IMPROVEMENTS:
3594
3595
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3596
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3597
3598
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3599
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3600
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3601
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3602
3603
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3604
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3605
3606
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3607
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3608
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3609
3610
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3611
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3612
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3613
3614
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3615
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3616
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3619
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3620
Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3623
Pool)
3624
3625
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3626
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3627
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3628
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3629
3630
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3631
(Robert Collins)
3632
3633
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3634
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3635
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3636
(Robert Collins)
3637
3638
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3639
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3640
3641
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3642
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3643
3644
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3645
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3646
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3647
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3648
(Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3651
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3652
3653
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3654
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3655
3656
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3657
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3658
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3659
3660
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3661
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3662
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3663
3664
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3665
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3666
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3667
3668
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3669
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3670
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3671
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3672
3673
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3674
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3675
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3676
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3677
3678
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3679
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3680
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3681
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3682
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3683
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3684
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3685
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3686
header(s).
3687
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3688
3689
INTERNALS:
3690
3691
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3692
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3695
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3696
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3697
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3698
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3699
3700
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3701
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3702
3703
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3704
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3705
3706
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3707
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3708
3709
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3710
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3711
3712
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3713
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3714
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3715
(Robert Collins).
3716
3717
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3718
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3719
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3720
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3721
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3722
(Robert Collins)
3723
3724
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3725
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3726
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3727
3728
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3729
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3730
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3731
3732
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3733
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3734
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3735
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3736
3737
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3738
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3739
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3740
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3741
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3742
3743
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3744
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3745
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3746
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3749
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3750
3751
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3752
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3753
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3754
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3755
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3756
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3757
3758
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3759
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3760
3761
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3762
help. (Robert Collins)
3763
3764
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3765
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3766
3767
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3768
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3769
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3770
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3771
(John Arbash Meinel)
3772
3773
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3774
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3775
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3776
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3777
useful. (Robert Collins)
3778
3779
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3780
(Andrew Bennetts)
3781
3782
BUGFIXES:
3783
3784
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3785
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3786
3787
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3788
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3789
3790
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3791
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3792
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3793
3794
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3795
(Aaron Bentley)
3796
3797
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3798
the file, and does it faster.
3799
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3800
3801
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3802
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3803
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3804
3805
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3806
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3807
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3808
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3809
3810
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3811
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3812
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3813
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3814
3815
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3816
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3817
3818
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3819
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3820
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3821
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3822
Arbash Meinel)
3823
3824
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3825
3826
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3827
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3828
3829
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3830
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3831
3832
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3833
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3834
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3835
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3836
security hole.
3837
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3838
3839
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3841
3842
TESTING:
3843
3844
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3845
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3846
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3847
3848
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3849
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3850
3851
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3852
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3853
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3854
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3855
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3856
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3857
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3858
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3859
3860
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3861
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3862
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3863
3864
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3865
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3866
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3867
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3868
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3869
access.
3870
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3871
3872
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3873
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3874
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3875
3876
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3877
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3896
3897
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3898
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3899
(Martin Pool)
3900
3901
IMPROVEMENTS:
3902
3903
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3904
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3905
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3906
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3907
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3908
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3909
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3910
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3911
path. (vila)
3912
3913
INTERNALS:
3914
3915
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3916
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3917
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3918
3919
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3920
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3921
(Martin Pool)
3922
3923
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3924
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3925
(John Arbash Meinel)
3926
3927
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3928
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3929
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3930
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3931
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3932
3933
BUGFIXES:
3934
3935
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3936
(vila, #92195)
3937
3938
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3939
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3940
3941
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3942
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3943
3944
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3945
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3946
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3947
3948
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3949
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3950
3951
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3952
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3953
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3954
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3955
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3956
3957
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3958
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3959
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3960
3961
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3965
-----------------------
3966
3967
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3968
3969
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3970
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3971
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3972
3973
IMPROVEMENTS:
3974
3975
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3976
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3977
3978
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3979
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3980
3981
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3982
3983
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3984
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3985
3986
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3987
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3988
3989
INTERNALS:
3990
3991
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3992
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3993
3994
BUGFIXES:
3995
3996
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3997
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3998
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3999
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4000
4001
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4002
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4003
4004
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4005
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4006
4007
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4008
(Marien Zwart)
4009
4010
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4014
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4015
-----------------------
4016
4017
SURPRISES:
4018
4019
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4020
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4021
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4022
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4023
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4024
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4025
4026
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4027
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4028
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4029
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4030
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4031
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4032
development.
4033
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4034
4035
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4036
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4037
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4038
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4039
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4040
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4041
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4042
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4043
4044
IMPROVEMENTS:
4045
4046
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4047
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4048
4049
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4050
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4051
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4052
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4053
does exist.
4054
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4055
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4056
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4057
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4058
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4059
4060
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4061
(Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4064
(Aaron Bentley)
4065
4066
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4067
(Robert Collins)
4068
4069
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4070
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4071
(Aaron Bentley)
4072
4073
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4074
(Aaron Bentley)
4075
4076
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4077
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4078
4079
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4080
directory. (Martin Pool)
4081
4082
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4083
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4084
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4085
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4086
4087
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4088
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4089
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4090
in docs/configuration.txt.
4091
4092
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4093
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4094
bind location.
4095
4096
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4097
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4098
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4099
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4100
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4101
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4102
4103
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4104
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4105
4106
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4107
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4108
4109
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4110
(Aaron Bentley)
4111
4112
INTERNALS:
4113
4114
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4115
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4116
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4117
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4118
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4119
(John Arbash Meinel)
4120
4121
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4122
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4123
(Aaron Bentley)
4124
4125
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4126
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4127
(John Arbash Meinel)
4128
4129
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4130
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4131
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4132
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4133
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4134
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4135
4136
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4137
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4138
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4139
4140
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4141
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4142
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4143
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4144
repository.
4145
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4146
4147
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4148
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4149
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4150
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4151
4152
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4153
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4154
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4155
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4156
4157
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4158
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4159
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4160
4161
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4162
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4163
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4164
4165
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4166
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4167
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4168
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4169
4170
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4171
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4172
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4173
4174
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4175
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4176
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4177
4178
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4179
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4180
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4181
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4182
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4183
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4184
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4185
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4186
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4189
4190
BUGFIXES:
4191
4192
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4193
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4194
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4195
4196
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4197
(Aaron Bentley)
4198
4199
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4200
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4201
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4202
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4203
4204
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4205
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4206
#83954).
4207
4208
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4209
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4210
4211
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4212
4213
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4214
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4215
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4216
4217
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4218
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4219
4220
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4222
4223
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4225
4226
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4227
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4228
4229
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4230
4231
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4232
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4233
4234
TESTING:
4235
4236
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4237
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4242
4243
IMPROVEMENTS:
4244
4245
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4246
4247
BUG FIXES:
4248
4249
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4250
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4251
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4252
4253
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4254
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4255
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4257
4258
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4259
-----------------------
4260
4261
IMPROVEMENTS:
4262
4263
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4264
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4265
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4266
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4267
4268
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4269
(Marius Kruger)
4270
4271
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4272
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4273
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4274
4275
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4276
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4277
4278
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4279
(Aaron Bentley)
4280
4281
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4282
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4283
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4284
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4285
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4286
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4287
4288
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4289
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4290
should enable you to do::
4291
4292
[/home/user/project]
4293
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4294
push_location:policy = appendpath
4295
4296
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4297
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4298
(James Henstridge)
4299
4300
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4301
for each file. For example::
4302
4303
$ bzr status --short
4304
A foo
4305
A bar
4306
D baz
4307
? wooley
4308
4309
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4310
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4311
4312
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4313
4314
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4315
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4316
4317
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4318
4319
INTERNALS:
4320
4321
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4322
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4323
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4324
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4325
4326
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4327
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4328
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4329
4330
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4331
4332
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4333
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4334
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4335
(Alexander Belchenko)
4336
4337
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4338
Pool)
4339
4340
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4341
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4342
4343
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4344
4345
BUG FIXES:
4346
4347
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4348
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4349
4350
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4351
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4352
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4353
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4354
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4355
4356
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4357
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4358
4359
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4360
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4361
4362
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4363
matcher.
4364
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4365
4366
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4367
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4368
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4369
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4370
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4371
4372
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4373
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4374
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4375
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4376
4377
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4378
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4379
4380
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4381
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4382
4383
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4384
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4385
4386
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4399
4400
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4401
tree from a branch.
4402
(Daniel Silverstone)
4403
4404
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4405
operations are substantially faster.
4406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4407
4408
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4409
tree from some other url. For example:
4410
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4411
(Daniel Silverstone)
4412
4413
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4414
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4415
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4416
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4417
4418
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4419
(Andrew Bennetts)
4420
4421
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4422
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4423
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4424
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4425
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4426
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4427
4428
INTERNALS:
4429
4430
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4431
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4432
(Martin Pool)
4433
4434
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4435
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4436
(John Arbash Meinel)
4437
4438
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4439
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4440
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4441
(John Arbash Meinel)
4442
4443
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4444
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4445
4446
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4447
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4448
4449
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4450
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4451
Bennetts)
4452
4453
BUG FIXES:
4454
4455
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4456
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4457
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4458
4459
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4460
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4461
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4462
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4463
4464
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4465
4466
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4467
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4468
4469
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4470
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4471
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4473
4474
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4475
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4476
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4477
4478
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4479
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4480
them as full references rather than integers.
4481
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4482
4483
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4484
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4485
4486
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4487
4488
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4489
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4490
4491
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4492
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4493
4494
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4495
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4496
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4497
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4498
4499
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4500
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4501
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4502
4503
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4504
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4505
4506
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4507
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4508
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4509
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4510
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4511
4512
TESTING:
4513
4514
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4515
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4518
--------------------
4519
4520
INTERNALS:
4521
4522
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

4526
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4527
-----------------------
4528
4529
IMPROVEMENTS:
4530
4531
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4532
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4533
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4534
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4537
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4538
4539
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4540
4541
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4542
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4543
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4544
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4545
4546
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4547
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4548
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4549
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4550
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4551
4552
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4553
4554
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4555
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
INTERNALS:
4558
4559
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4560
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4561
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4562
4563
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4564
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4565
(John Arbash Meinel)
4566
4567
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4568
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4569
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4570
4571
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4572
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4573
(Aaron Bentley)
4574
4575
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4576
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4577
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4578
4579
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4580
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4581
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4582
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4583
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4584
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4585
4586
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4587
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4588
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4589
(Robert Collins)
4590
4591
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4592
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4593
4594
BUG FIXES:
4595
4596
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4597
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4598
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4599
#63360, #66349)
4600
4601
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4602
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)

* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4605
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4606
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4607
4608
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4609
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4610
4611
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4612
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4613
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4614
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4615
4616
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4617
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4618
4619
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4620
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4621
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4622
4623
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4624
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4625
4626
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4627
4628
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4629
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4630
#32054)
4631
4632
TESTING:
4633
4634
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4635
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4636
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4637
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4638
4639
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4640
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4641
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4642
4643
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4644
--------------------
4645
4646
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4647
4648
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4649
-----------------------
4650
4651
BUG FIXES:
4652
4653
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4654
4655
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4656
Arbash Meinel).
4657
4658
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4659
-----------------------
4660
4661
IMPROVEMENTS:
4662
4663
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4664
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4665
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4666
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4667
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4668
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4669
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4670
4671
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4672
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4673
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4674
4675
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4676
4677
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4678
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4679
4680
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4681
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4682
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4683
(Robert Collins)
4684
4685
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4686
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4687
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4688
(John Arbash Meinel)
4689
4690
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4691
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4692
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4693
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4694
Pool)
4695
4696
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4697
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4698
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4699
(John Arbash Meinel)
4700
4701
BUG FIXES:
4702
4703
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4704
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4705
4706
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4707
4708
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4709
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4710
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4711
4712
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4713
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4714
4715
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4716
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4717
4718
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4720
4721
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4722
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4723
4724
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4725
4726
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4727
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4728
4729
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4730
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4731
4732
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4733
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4734
4735
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4736
(John Arbash Meinel)
4737
4738
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4739
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4740
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4741
4742
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4743
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4744
4745
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4746
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4747
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4748
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4749
4750
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4751
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4752
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4753
4754
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4755
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4756
4757
PORTABILITY:
4758
4759
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4760
4761
INTERNALS:
4762
4763
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4764
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4765
(John Arbash Meinel)
4766
4767
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4768
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4769
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4770
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4771
4772
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4773
(Andrew Bennetts)
4774
4775
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4776
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4777
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4778
4779
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4780
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4781
4782
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4783
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4784
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4785
4786
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4787
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4788
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4789
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4790
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4791
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4792
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4793
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4794
caller to repeat their request.
4795
(John Arbash Meinel)
4796
4797
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4798
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4799
4800
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4801
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4802
4803
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4804
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4805
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4806
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4807
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4808
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4809
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4810
4811
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4812
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4813
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4814
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4815
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4816
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4817
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4818
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4819
(Robert Collins)
4820
4821
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4822
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4823
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4824
4825
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4826
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4827
4828
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4829
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4830
4831
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4832
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4833
4834
TESTING:
4835
4836
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4837
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4840
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4841
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4842
4843
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4844
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4845
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4846
4847
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4848
--------------------
4849
4850
IMPROVEMENTS:
4851
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4852
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4853
4854
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4855
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4856
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4857
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4858
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4859
4860
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4861
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4862
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4863
4864
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4865
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4866
4867
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4868
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4869
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4870
4871
BUG FIXES:
4872
4873
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4874
4875
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4876
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4877
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4878
4879
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4880
4881
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4882
4883
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4884
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4885
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4886
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4887
4888
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4889
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4890
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4891
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4892
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4893
4894
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4895
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4896
4897
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4898
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4899
4900
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4901
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4902
4903
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4904
in handling of revision properties.
4905
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4906
4907
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4908
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4909
4910
INTERNALS:
4911
4912
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4913
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4914
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4915
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4916
(John Arbash Meinel)
4917
4918
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4919
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4920
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4921
4922
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4923
---------------------
4924
4925
SURPRISES:
4926
4927
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4928
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4929
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4930
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4931
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4932
a more conservative list than the old default.
4933
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4934
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4935
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4936
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4937
4938
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4939
to more locations than just branch locations.
4940
(Aaron Bentley)
4941
4942
IMPROVEMENTS:
4943
4944
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4945
revno:N:branch. For example,
4946
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4947
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4948
4949
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4950
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4951
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4952
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4953
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4954
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4955
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4956
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4957
#42517, #42514)
4958
4959
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4960
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4961
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4962
(Malone #3507)
4963
4964
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4965
(Alexander Belchenko)
4966
4967
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4968
4969
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4970
(Robert Collins).
4971
4972
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4973
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4974
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4975
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4976
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4977
(John Arbash Meinel)
4978
4979
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4980
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4981
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4982
grained analysis of performance.
4983
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4984
4985
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4986
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4987
4988
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4989
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4990
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4991
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4992
file. (Robert Collins).
4993
4994
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4995
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4996
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4997
4998
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4999
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5000
Matthieu Moy)
5001
5002
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5003
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5004
5005
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5006
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5007
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5008
the same way you would apply another branch.
5009
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5010
5011
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5012
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5013
5014
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5015
(Michael Ellerman)
5016
5017
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5018
(Aaron Bentley)
5019
5020
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5021
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5022
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5023
5024
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5025
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5026
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5027
5028
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.

(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5030
5031
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5032
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5033
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5034
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5035
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5036
5037
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5038
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5039
5040
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5041
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5042
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5043
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5044
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5045
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5046
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5047
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5048
5049
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5050
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5051
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5052
5053
BUG FIXES:
5054
5055
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5056
tests not to run.
5057
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5058
5059
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5060
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5061
5062
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5063
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5064
5065
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5066
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5067
5068
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5069
5070
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5071
(John Arbash Meinel)
5072
5073
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5074
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5075
5076
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5077
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5078
and y.
5079
5080
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5081
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5082
5083
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5084
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5085
5086
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5087
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5088
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5089
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5090
5091
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5092
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5093
5094
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5095
5096
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5097
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5098
5099
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5100
5101
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5102
5103
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5104
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5105
5106
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5107
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5108
5109
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5110
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5111
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5112
5113
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5114
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5115
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5116
5117
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5118
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5119
5120
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5121
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5122
5123
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5124
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5125
5126
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5127
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5128
5129
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5130
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5131
5132
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5133
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5134
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5135
5136
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5137
5138
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5139
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5140
5141
INTERNALS:
5142
5143
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5144
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5145
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5146
5147
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5148
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5149
5150
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5151
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5152
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5153
5154
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5155
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5156
5157
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5158
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5159
(Martin Pool)
5160
5161
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5162
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5163
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5164
5165
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5166
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5167
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5168
5169
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5170
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5171
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5172
5173
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5174
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5175
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5176
5177
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5178
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5179
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5180
5181
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5182
instead. (Robert Collins)
5183
5184
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5201
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5202
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5203
5204
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5205
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5218
5219
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5220

5222
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5223
5224
NEW FEATURES:
5225
5226
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

5241
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5242
-------------------
5243
5244
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5245
5246
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5247
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5248
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5249
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5250
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5251
will keep the same format.
5252
5253
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5254
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5255
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5256
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5257
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5258
5259
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5260
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5261
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5262
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5263
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5264
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5265
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5266
5267
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5268
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5269
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5270
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5271
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5272
5273
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5274
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5275
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5276
arrangement.
5277
5278
5279
IMPROVEMENTS:
5280
5281
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5282
convention. Paths now take the form::
5283
5284
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5285
or
5286
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5287
5288
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5289
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5290
5291
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5292
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5293
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5294
5295
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5296
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5297
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5298
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5299
5300
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5301
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5302
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5303
5304
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5305
5306
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5307
5308
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5309
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5310
commits::
5311
5312
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5313
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5314
| xargs bzr re-sign
5315
5316
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5317
5318
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5319
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5320
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5321
(Robert Collins)
5322
5323
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5324
5325
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5326
5327
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5328
'.moved'.
5329
5330
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5331
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5332
5333
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5334
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5335
Daniel Silverstone)
5336
5337
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5338
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5339
Martin Pool)
5340
5341
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5342
5343
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5344
5345
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5346
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5347
5348
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5349
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5350
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5351
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5352
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5353
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5354
5355
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5356
5357
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5358
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5359
(Robert Collins)
5360
5361
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5362
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5363
5364
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5365
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5366
5367
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5368
5369
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5370
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5371
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5372
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5373
specification by Martin Pool.
5374
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5375
5376
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5377
Belchenko)
5378
5379
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5380
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5381
5382
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5383
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5384
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5385
5386
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5387
5388
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5389
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5390
(Robert Collins)
5391
5392
CHANGES:
5393
5394
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5395
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5396
5397
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5398
5399
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5400
5401
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5402
(Olaf Conradi)
5403
5404
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5405
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5406
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5407
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5408
5409
INTERNALS:
5410
5411
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5412
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5413
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5414
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5415
5416
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5417
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5418
tried. (Martin Pool)
5419
5420
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5421
(Martin Pool)
5422
5423
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5424
5425
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5426
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5427
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5428
5429
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5430
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5431
5432
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5433
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5434
paths. (Robert Collins)
5435
5436
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5437
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5438
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5439
5440
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5441
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5442
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5443
5444
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5445
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5446
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5447
5448
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5449
(Olaf Conradi)
5450
5451
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5452
(Olaf Conradi)
5453
5454
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5455
5456
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5457
5458
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5459
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5460
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5461
(Robert Collins)
5462
5463
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5464
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5465
5466
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5467
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5468
check. (Robert Collins)
5469
5470
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5471
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5472
5473
TESTING:
5474
5475
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5476
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5477
5478
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5479
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5480
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5481
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5482
5483
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5484
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5485
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5486
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5487
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5488
5489
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5490
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5491
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5492
5493
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5494
5495
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5496
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

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

5501
CHANGES:
5502
5503
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5504
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5505
5506
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5507
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5508
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5509
(Johan Rydberg)
5510
5511
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5512
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5513
5514
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5515
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5516
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5517
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5518
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5519
5520
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5521
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5522
used. (Robert Collins)
5523
5524
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5525
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5526
(James Henstridge)
5527
5528
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5529
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5530
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5531
5532
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5533
ignore list.
5534
5535
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5536
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5537
5538
IMPROVEMENTS:
5539
5540
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5541
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5542
5543
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5544
5545
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5546
5547
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5548
tree. (Robert Collins)
5549
5550
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5551
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5552
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5553
(Robert Collins)
5554
5555
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5556
that they be kept.
5557
5558
* Tweaks to short log printing
5559
5560
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5561
(Aaron Bentley)
5562
5563
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5564
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5565
5566
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5567
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5568
5569
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5570
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5571
5572
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5573
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5574
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5575
5576
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5577
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5578
5579
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5580
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5581
requests.
5582
5583
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5584
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5585
5586
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5587
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5588
5589
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5590
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5591
5592
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5593
(Denys Duchier)
5594
5595
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5596
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5597
5598
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5599
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5600
5601
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5602
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5603
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5604
5605
BUG FIXES:
5606
5607
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5608
5609
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5610
5611
* Error when run with -OO
5612
5613
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5614
(Martin Pool)
5615
5616
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5617
5618
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5619
5620
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5621
ignored by diff and status
5622
5623
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5624
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5625
5626
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5627
5628
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5629
5630
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5631
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5632
5633
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5634
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5635
5636
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5637
(Harald Meland)
5638
5639
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5640
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5641
5642
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5643
5644
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5645
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5646
5647
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5648
(Martin Pool)
5649
5650
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5651
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5652
5653
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5654
5655
TESTING:
5656
5657
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5658
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5659
5660
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5661
5662
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5663
5664
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5665
5666
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5667
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5668
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5669
5670
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5671
5672
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5673
(John Arbash Meinel)
5674
5675
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5676
5677
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5678
If adding a new test script please add that to
5679
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5682
imported. (Martin Pool)
5683
5684
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5685
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5686
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5687
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5688
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5689
(Robert Collins)
5690
5691
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5692
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5693
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5694
5695
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5696
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5697
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5698
5699
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5700
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5701
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5702
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5703
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5704
(Robert Collins).
5705
5706
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5707
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5708
(Robert Collins).
5709
5710
INTERNALS:
5711
5712
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5713
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5716
function. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5719
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5720
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5721
5722
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5723
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5724
(Robert Collins)
5725
5726
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5727
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5728
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5729
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5730
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5731
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5732
version. (Robert Collins)
5733
5734
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5735
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5736
5737
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5738
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5739
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5740
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5741
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5742
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5743
5744
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5745
(Robert Collins)
5746
5747
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5748
5749
add()
5750
commit()
5751
move()
5752
rename_one()
5753
unknowns()
5754
5755
(Robert Collins)
5756
5757
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5758
5759
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5760
5761
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5762
Pool)
5763
5764
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5765
query method. (Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5768
(Denys Duchier)
5769
5770
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5771
(Michael Ellerman)
5772
5773
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5774
(Michael Ellerman)
5775
5776
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5777
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5778
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5779
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5780
5781
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5782
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5783
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5784
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5785
5786
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5787
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5788
5789
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5790
------------------
5791
5792
IMPROVEMENTS:
5793
5794
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5795
(John A Meinel)
5796
5797
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5798
conflicts.
5799
(Aaron Bentley)
5800
5801
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5802
a separator, not ':'.
5803
(Aaron Bentley)
5804
5805
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5806
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5807
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5808
5809
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5810
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5811
(Robert Collins)
5812
5813
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5814
has been added that suppresses all output.
5815
5816
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5817
Adams.
5818
5819
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5820
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5821
5822
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5823
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5824
5825
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5826
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5827
5828
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5829
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5830
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5831
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5832
5833
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5834
5835
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5836
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5837
5838
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5839
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5840
5841
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5842
output directory, if one was supplied.
5843
5844
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5845
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5846
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5847
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5848
5849
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5850
5851
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5852
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5853
5854
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5855
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5856
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5857
5858
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5859
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5860
5861
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5862
(Aaron Bentley)
5863
5864
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5865
5866
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5867
5868
TESTING:
5869
5870
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5871
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5872
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5873
5874
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5875
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5876
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5877
5878
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5879
is given. (Martin Pool)
5880
5881
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5882
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5883
file. (Robert Collins)
5884
5885
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5886
(Martin Pool)
5887
5888
INTERNALS:
5889
5890
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5891
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5892
representation. (Martin Pool).
5893
5894
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5895
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5896
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5897
5898
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5899
(Robert Collins)
5900
5901
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5902
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5903
Magnus Therning.
5904
5905
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5906
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5907
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5908
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5909
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5910
5911
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5912
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5913
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5914
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5915
python path. (Robert Collins)
5916
5917
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5918
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5919
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5920
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5921
5922
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5923
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5924
5925
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5926
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5927
(Robert Collins)
5928
5929
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5930
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5931
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5932
5933
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5934
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5935
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5936
5937
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5938
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5939
5940
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5941
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5942
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5943
(Robert Collins)
5944
5945
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5946
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5947
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5948
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5949
(Robert Collins)
5950
5951
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5952
(Robert Collins)
5953
5954
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5955
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5956
(Robert Collins)
5957
5958
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5959
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5960
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5961
5962
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5963
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5964
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5965
5966
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5967
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5968
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5969
5970
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5971
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5972
5973
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5974
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5975
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5976
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5977
caller. (Robert Collins)
5978
5979
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5980
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5981
(Robert Collins).
5982
5983
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5984
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5985
(Aaron Bentley)
5986
5987
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5988
5989
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5990
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5991
5992
BUG FIXES:
5993
5994
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5995
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5996
5997
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5998
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6002
--------------------
6003
6004
BUG FIXES:
6005
6006
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6007
allow directories to be listed.
6008
6009
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6010
upgrading branch format.
6011
6012
PERFORMANCE:
6013
6014
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

6016
6017
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6018
------------------
6019
6020
NOTES:
6021
6022
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6023
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6024
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6025
high-latency connections.
6026
6027
BUG FIXES:
6028
6029
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6030
Rob Weir.
6031
6032
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6033
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6034
6035
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6036
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6037
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6038
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6039
6040
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6041
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6042
6043
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6044
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6045
6046
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6047
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6048
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6049
6050
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6051
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6052
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6053
Robert Collins
6054
6055
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6056
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6057
6058
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6059
different partial views of history.
6060
6061
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6062
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6063
6064
IMPROVEMENTS:
6065
6066
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6067
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6068
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6069
6070
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6071
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6072
'bzr upgrade'.
6073
6074
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6075
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6076
6077
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6078
Niemeyer.
6079
6080
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6081
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6082
6083
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6084
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6085
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6086
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6087
6088
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6089
6090
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6091
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6092
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6093
6094
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6095
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6096
6097
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6098
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6099
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6100
6101
6102
INTERNALS:
6103
6104
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6105
for your viewing pleasure.
6106
6107
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6108
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6109
6110
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6111
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6112
handling of such circumstances.
6113
6114
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6115
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6116
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6117
6118
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6119
6120
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6121
we call them revisions not patches.
6122
6123
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6124
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6125
6126
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6127
giving the revision *of that file*.
6128
6129
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6130
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6131
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6132
6133
TESTING:
6134
6135
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6136
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6137
6138
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6139
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6140
6141
6142
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6143
--------------------
6144
6145
BUG FIXES:
6146
6147
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6148
6149
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6150
(Robert Collins).
6151
6152
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6153
6154
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6155
6156
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6157
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6158
6159
IMPROVEMENTS:
6160
6161
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6162
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6163
6164
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6165
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6166
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6167
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6168
Robey Pointer
6169
6170
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6171
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6172
6173
INTERNALS:
6174
6175
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6176
6177
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6178
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6179
6180
6181
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6182
--------------------
6183
6184
IMPROVEMENTS:
6185
6186
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6187
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6188
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6189
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6190
Michael Ellerman.
6191
6192
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6193
(Nir Soffer)
6194
6195
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6196
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6197
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6198
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6199
for the operating system is still tried.
6200
6201
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6202
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6203
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6204
6205
6206
INTERNALS:
6207
6208
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6209
6210
BUG FIXES:
6211
6212
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6213
6214
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6215
branch.
6216
6217
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6218
read.
6219
6220
6221
PORTABILITY:
6222
6223
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6224
6225
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

6227
6228
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6229
--------------------
6230
6231
NEW FEATURES:
6232
6233
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6234
help with intelligent shell completion.
6235
6236
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6237
6238
6239
ENHANCEMENTS:
6240
6241
* Much better merge support.
6242
6243
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6244
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6245
like emacs smerge.
6246
6247
6248
BUG FIXES:
6249
6250
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6251
mention revisions that are not present.
6252
6253
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6254
6255
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6256
6257
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6258
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6259
6260
6261
CHANGES:
6262
6263
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6264
6265
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6266
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6267
--help themselves.
6268
6269
6270
LIBRARY:
6271
6272
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6273
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6274
libraries.
6275
6276
6277
6278
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6279
--------------------
6280
6281
NEW FEATURES:
6282
6283
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6284
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6285
6286
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6287
6288
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6289
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6290
6291
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6292
FOO.
6293
6294
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6295
6296
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6297
the Unix command.
6298
6299
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6300
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6301
6302
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6303
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6304
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6305
6306
6307
ENHANCEMENTS:
6308
6309
* Faster working tree operations.
6310
6311
6312
CHANGES:
6313
6314
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6315
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6316
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6317
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6318
6319
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6320
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6321
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6322
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6323
standard plugins directory.
6324
6325
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6326
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6327
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6328
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6329
6330
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6331
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6332
6333
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6334
disk.
6335
6336
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6337
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6338
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6339
6340
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6341
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6342
6343
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6344
line options must come before the command name because they
6345
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6346
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6347
it.
6348
6349
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6350
6351
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6352
is available with ``--short``.
6353
6354
6355
BUG FIXES:
6356
6357
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6358
6359

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6361
---------------------
6362
6363
CHANGES:
6364
6365
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6366
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6367
6368
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6369
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6370
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6371
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6372
6373
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6374
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6375
with the ``--forward`` option.
6376
6377
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6378
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6379
field.
6380

6382
ENHANCEMENTS:

6383
5
6384
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
6385
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
6386
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
6387
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
6388
10
6389
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
6390
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
6391
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6392
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
6393
15
6394
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
6395
either read or write mode.
25
6404
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
6405
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
6406
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
6407
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6408
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6409
6410
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6411
a filename.
6412
6413
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6414
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6415
6416
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6417
haven't changed since the previous time.
6418
6419
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6420
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6421
6422
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6423
6424
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6425
6426
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6427
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6428
6429
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6430
options through to an external GNU diff.
6431
6432
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6433
their contents.
6434
6435
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6436
from a branch.
6437
6438
6439
BUG FIXES:
6440
6441
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6442
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6443
6444
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6445
metacharacters.

6448
TESTING:
40
6457
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
6458
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
6459
6460
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6461
under a different version.
6462
6463
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6464

6467
50
6472
51
6473
* Better help messages for many commands.
52
6474
53
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
6475
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
54
6476
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
55

* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
57
6479
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
58
6480
59
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
60

* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
6481
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6482
6483
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.

6487
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6488
6489
6490
PORTABILITY:
6491
6492
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6493
2.4 is now only recommended.
