:2.2.0b1: Not released yet
17
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
18
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
21
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` has been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
23
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
24
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
25
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
26
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
27
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
33
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
34
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
35
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
36
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
37
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
39
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
40
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
41
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
47
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
48
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
50
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
51
(Michal Junák, #511987)
53
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
54
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
56
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
57
(Martin Pool, #331095)
59
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
62
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
63
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
65
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
66
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
67
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
69
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
70
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
71
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
76
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
77
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
78
to be done separately.
79
(Martin Pool, #507710)
81
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
87
* New `bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff` can make assertions about what
88
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
89
dependency regressions.
92
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
93
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
101
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
102
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
103
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
105
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
106
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
107
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
108
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
109
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
110
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
112
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
117
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
120
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
121
(Martin Pool, #513432)
123
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
124
when it encounters conflicts.
125
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
127
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
130
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
131
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
133
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
134
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
135
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
136
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
137
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
138
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
140
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
141
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
142
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
147
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
153
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
154
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
157
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
158
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
161
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
162
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
164
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
165
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
166
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
167
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
168
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
169
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
170
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
171
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
173
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
180
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
181
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
182
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
184
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
189
* The ``remove_index`` method of
190
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
191
argument. This argument was always ignored.
192
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
197
:Codename: after the bubbles
198
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
200
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
201
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
206
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
207
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
208
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
209
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
210
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
211
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
212
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
218
:Codename: the 'new' stable
219
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
221
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
222
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
223
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
224
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
225
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
226
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
227
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
228
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
229
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
235
* Add bug information to log output when available.
236
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
238
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
239
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
242
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
243
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
244
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
247
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
248
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
250
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
251
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
253
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
254
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
255
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
257
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
258
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
259
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
262
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
263
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
264
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
266
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
267
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
268
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
269
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
270
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
271
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
273
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
274
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
275
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
276
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
277
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
282
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
283
user-specified commit message editor.
284
(Martin Pool, #504842)
286
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
287
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
288
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
290
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
291
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
292
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
294
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
295
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
297
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
298
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
299
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
300
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
301
another process already removed the file.
302
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
304
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
305
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
307
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
308
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
309
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
311
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
312
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
314
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
317
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
320
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
321
(Martin Pool, #320035)
323
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
324
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
325
depended on this behaviour.
326
(Martin Pool, #499757)
328
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
329
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
330
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
331
should appear up-to-date.)
332
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
337
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
338
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
339
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
340
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
342
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
343
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
345
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
346
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
347
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
349
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
350
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
351
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
353
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
356
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
357
Bazaar is doing network IO.
363
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
364
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
366
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
367
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
369
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
370
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
372
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
373
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
375
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
376
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
377
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
379
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
382
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
383
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
389
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
392
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
393
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
394
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
395
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
397
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
398
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
399
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
401
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
402
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
404
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
405
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
406
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
407
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
409
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
415
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
416
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
417
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
419
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
420
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
421
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
422
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
424
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
425
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
430
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
431
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
432
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
433
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
434
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
436
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
437
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
438
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
439
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
440
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
441
suite. (Robert Collins)
443
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
444
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
445
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
447
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
448
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
452
bzr 2.0.5 (not released yet)
453
############################
461
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
462
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
464
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
465
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
466
``UnboundLocalError``.
467
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
472
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
473
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
478
:Codename: smooth sailing
481
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
482
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
483
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
484
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
490
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
491
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
493
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
494
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
495
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
496
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
498
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
499
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
500
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
501
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
502
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
504
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
505
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
506
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
508
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
509
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
510
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
511
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
513
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
514
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
516
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
517
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
518
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
519
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
520
(Martin Pool, #456077)
522
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
523
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
524
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
525
users, rather than something nicer.
526
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
528
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
529
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
531
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
532
build. (there is still the distutils bug
533
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
535
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
536
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
537
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
539
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
540
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
541
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
542
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
543
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
545
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
546
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
547
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
552
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
553
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
554
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
555
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

564
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
565
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
566
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
567
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
568
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
569
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
575
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
576
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
577
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
578
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
579
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
584
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
585
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
587
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
588
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
590
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
591
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
593
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
594
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
595
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
596
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
600
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
601
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
609
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
610
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
611
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
613
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
614
and issues a warning.
615
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)

* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
619
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
620
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
622
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
623
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
624
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
625
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
627
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
629
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
630
(Robert Collins, #84659)
632
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
634
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
635
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
637
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
639
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
640
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
642
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
643
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
644
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
645
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
647
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
648
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
650
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
651
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
653
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
654
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
655
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
657
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
658
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
659
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
660
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
662
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
663
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
664
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
666
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
667
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
668
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
669
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
671
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
672
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
673
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
679
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
681
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
682
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
684
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
685
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
688
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
689
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
692
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
693
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
694
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
695
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
696
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
701
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
707
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
709
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
710
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
711
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
717
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
718
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
719
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
720
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
722
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
723
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
724
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
725
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
728
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
729
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
730
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
731
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
732
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
733
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
738
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
739
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
745
:Codename: little italy
749
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
750
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
756
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
757
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
758
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
760
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
761
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
763
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
764
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
765
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
766
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
768
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
774
:Codename: after sprint recovery
777
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
778
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
779
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
780
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
782
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
783
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
784
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
785
formats for Remote objects.
791
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
792
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
797
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
799
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
801
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
802
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
804
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
806
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
807
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
808
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
809
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
810
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
811
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
813
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
814
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
815
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
816
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
818
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
819
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
821
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
822
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
824
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
825
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
826
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
827
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
828
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
829
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
830
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
832
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
833
(Alexander Belchenko)
835
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
836
Python level. (Martin Pool)
841
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
843
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
844
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
845
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
847
(Martin Pool, 493944)
852
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
853
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
854
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
859
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
860
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
862
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
863
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
865
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
866
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
868
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
869
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
871
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
872
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
873
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
874
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
876
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
877
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
879
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
880
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
881
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
882
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
884
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
885
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
886
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
887
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
894
:Codename: a load off my mind
897
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
898
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
900
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
901
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
902
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
903
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
904
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
907
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
908
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
909
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
910
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
911
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
912
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
917
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
918
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
920
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
921
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
922
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
923
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
925
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
926
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
928
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
929
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
930
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
931
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
933
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
934
files. (Aaron Bentley)
936
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
937
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
942
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
943
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
944
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
947
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
948
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
954
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
955
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
960
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
962
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
963
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
969
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
970
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
971
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
972
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
973
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
976
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
977
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
978
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
979
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
980
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
981
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
982
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
983
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
984
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
986
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
987
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
988
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
989
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
990
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
991
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
992
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
994
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
995
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
996
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
997
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1003
:Codename: after the scare
1006
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1007
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1008
changes or features.
1013
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1014
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1016
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1019
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1021
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1022
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1023
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1025
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1026
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1028
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1029
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1031
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1032
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1037
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1038
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1043
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1044
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1050
:Codename: While the cat is away
1051
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1053
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1054
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1055
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1056
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1057
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1058
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1059
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1061
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1062
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1063
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1064
error handling during unlocking.
1070
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1073
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1074
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1075
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1076
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1077
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1078
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1080
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1081
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1082
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1084
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1085
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1088
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1089
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1090
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1092
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1093
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1096
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1097
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1103
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1104
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1105
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1106
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1107
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1108
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1109
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1111
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1112
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1113
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1115
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1116
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1117
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1120
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1121
merges are present in the working tree.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1124
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1125
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1127
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1128
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1130
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1133
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1134
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1137
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1138
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1140
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1141
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1143
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1146
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1147
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1148
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1153
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1154
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1155
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1157
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1158
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1159
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1160
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1161
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1162
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1163
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1164
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1166
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1167
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1168
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1169
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1170
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1175
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1177
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1178
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1183
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1184
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1186
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1187
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1189
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1190
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1191
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1193
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1196
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1197
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1198
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1199
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1200
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1204
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1210
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1211
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1214
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1215
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1216
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1217
(John Arbash Meinel)
1219
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1220
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1226
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1227
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1229
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1230
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1232
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1233
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1236
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1240
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1241
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1243
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1244
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1245
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1247
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1248
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1249
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1250
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1251
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1253
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1254
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1256
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1257
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1263
:Codename: Stability First
1266
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1267
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1268
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1274
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1275
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1276
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1278
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1279
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1280
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1282
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1283
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1284
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1286
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1287
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1289
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1290
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1291
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1292
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1293
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1295
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1298
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1299
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1300
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1303
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1304
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1305
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1307
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1308
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1309
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1310
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1311
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1312
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1313
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1315
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1316
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1318
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1319
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1320
to download the entire cix file many times.
1321
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1323
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1324
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1329
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1331
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
1339
:Codename: Instant Karma
1341
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1342
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1343
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1344
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1345
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1348
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1349
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1351
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1352
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1353
months or until the following stable release.
1355
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1356
******************************
1358
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1359
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1360
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1361
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1367
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1372
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1373
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1374
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1379
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1380
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1381
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1382
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1383
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1384
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1385
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1387
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1388
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1389
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1391
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1392
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1394
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1395
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1396
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1398
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1399
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1401
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1402
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1403
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1404
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1405
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1406
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1407
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1409
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1410
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1411
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1412
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1413
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1414
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1416
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1417
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1418
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1420
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1421
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1422
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1424
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1425
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1426
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1428
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1429
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1431
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1432
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1433
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
1434
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
1439
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
1440
older smart servers.
1441
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
1443
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1444
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1446
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1447
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1448
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1450
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1451
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1452
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
1454
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
1455
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1461
:Codename: no worries
1462
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
1464
Compatibility Breaks
1465
********************
1467
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1468
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1469
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1470
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1471
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1473
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1474
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1475
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
1476
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
1481
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
1482
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1487
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1488
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1490
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1491
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1492
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1493
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1494
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
1496
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
1497
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
1498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
1500
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1503
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
1504
(Martin Pool, #286871)
1506
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
1507
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
1508
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1510
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1511
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1512
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
1513
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
1518
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1519
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1520
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1522
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1523
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1524
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1525
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1527
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
1529
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
1530
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1532
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1533
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1535
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1536
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1537
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1539
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1540
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1541
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1542
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1543
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1544
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
1549
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
1555
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1556
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1557
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1565
:Codename: nein nein nein!
1568
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
1569
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
1570
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
1571
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
1572
pushing to older servers.
1577
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1578
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1579
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1581
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1582
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1583
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1588
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1589
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1591
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1592
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1597
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1598
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1599
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1601
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1602
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1603
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1605
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1606
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1607
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1612
Compatibility Breaks
1613
********************
1615
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1616
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1617
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1618
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1619
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1627
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1628
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1629
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
1630
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1631
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
1633
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1636
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
1637
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
1639
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1640
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1642
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1643
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1644
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1645
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1647
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
1648
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
1649
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
1651
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1652
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
1654
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1655
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
1656
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
1657
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
1662
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1663
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1664
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1666
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1667
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1668
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1669
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1670
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1672
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1673
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1674
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1675
(John Arbash Meinel)
1686
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1687
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1688
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1689
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1690
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1691
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1693
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1694
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1695
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1696
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1698
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1699
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1700
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1701
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1702
(John Arbash Meinel)
1704
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1705
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1707
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1708
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1709
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1710
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1716
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1717
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

1725
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
1727
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1728
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1729
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1730
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1731
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1732
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1734
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1735
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1736
or until the following stable release.
1738
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1743
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1744
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1746
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1747
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1748
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1753
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1754
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1755
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1757
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1758
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1759
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1760
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1762
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1763
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1764
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1765
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1767
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1768
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1770
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1771
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1772
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1773
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1775
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1776
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1778
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1779
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1781
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1782
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1783
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1784
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1785
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1787
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1788
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1789
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1791
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1792
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1793
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1794
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1797
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1798
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1800
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1801
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1802
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1804
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1805
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1806
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1808
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1809
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1811
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1812
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1813
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1815
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1816
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1818
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1819
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1821
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1822
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1824
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1825
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1826
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1828
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1829
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1830
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1832
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1834
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1835
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1837
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1838
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1839
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1840
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1841
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1842
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1844
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1845
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1846
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1848
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1849
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1850
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1851
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1853
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1854
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1855
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1856
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1857
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1859
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1860
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1861
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1866
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1869
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1870
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1871
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1872
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1874
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1875
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1876
(John Arbash Meinel)
1881
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1886
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1887
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1888
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1889
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1890
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1891
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1893
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1896
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1899
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1903
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1904
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1909
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1910
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1911
paths. (Robert Collins)
1913
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1914
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1916
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1917
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1918
disk. (Robert Collins)
1920
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1921
it. (Robert Collins)
1923
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1924
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1925
(Alexander Belchenko)
1931
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1932
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1934
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1935
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1937
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1938
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1939
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1940
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1941
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1942
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
1945
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
1946
#######################
1951
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1952
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1953
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1958
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
1959
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1963
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1964
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1967
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1968
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
1969
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1970
annoying progress bar artifacts.
1973
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
1974
*********************************
1976
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1977
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1978
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1980
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1981
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1982
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1984
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1985
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1988
Compatibility Breaks
1989
********************
1991
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1992
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1993
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1994
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2000
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2001
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2002
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2003
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2005
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2006
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2007
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2009
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2010
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2011
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2015
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2016
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2017
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2018
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2025
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2027
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2028
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2029
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2030
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2032
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2033
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2035
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2036
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2037
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2039
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2040
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2042
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2043
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2045
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2046
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2048
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2049
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2050
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2052
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2055
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2056
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2058
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2059
of a remote repository.
2060
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2062
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2063
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2066
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2068
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2070
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2071
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2073
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2074
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2076
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2077
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2078
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2080
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2081
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2082
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2083
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2084
(John Arbash Meinel)
2086
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2087
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2088
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2090
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2091
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2092
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2093
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2094
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2095
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2097
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2098
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2099
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2100
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2101
activity display respectively.
2102
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2104
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2105
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2107
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2110
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2111
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2117
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2118
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2119
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2120
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2122
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2123
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2124
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2125
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2128
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2129
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2131
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2132
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2133
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2134
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2135
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2136
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2138
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2139
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2140
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2141
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2143
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2144
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2145
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2146
(John Arbash Meinel)
2149
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2150
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2151
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2152
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2158
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2159
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2160
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2161
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2163
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2164
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2165
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2167
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2170
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2171
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2173
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2174
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2175
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2177
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2178
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2179
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2180
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2182
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2188
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2189
formatting in the user reference.
2190
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2192
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2198
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2201
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2202
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2203
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
2209
:Released: 2009-06-26
2211
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2212
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2213
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2216
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2217
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2218
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2220
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2221
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2226
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2227
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2229
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2230
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2231
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2233
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2234
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2235
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2236
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2237
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2238
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2239
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2241
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2242
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2243
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2245
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2246
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2247
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2249
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2250
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2251
that. (Robert Collins)
2253
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2254
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2255
repository. (Robert Collins)
2257
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2258
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2259
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2260
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

2270
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2271
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2272
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2273
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2275
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2276
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
2277
bug fixes and improvements.
2280
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2281
*********************************
2283
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2284
2a can work correctly.
2285
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2287
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2288
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2289
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2292
Compatibility Breaks
2293
********************
2295
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2296
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2303
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2304
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2305
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2306
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2307
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2308
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2311
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2312
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2313
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2314
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2316
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2317
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2319
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2320
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2322
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2323
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2324
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2326
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2327
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2333
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2334
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2335
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2337
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2338
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2339
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2340
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2341
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2343
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2344
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2345
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2346
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2348
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2349
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2355
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2356
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2357
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2358
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2364
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2365
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2367
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2368
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2370
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2371
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2372
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2374
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2375
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2377
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2378
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2379
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2381
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2382
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2383
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2384
(John Arbash Meinel)
2386
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2387
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2389
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2390
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2392
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2393
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2395
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2396
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2397
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2398
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2399
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2400
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2402
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2404
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2405
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2407
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2408
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2410
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2411
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2412
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2413
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2414
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2416
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2417
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2418
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2419
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2424
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
2425
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
2426
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
2431
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
2433
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
2434
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
2435
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2437
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
2438
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
2439
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
2441
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
2442
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2444
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
2445
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
2450
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
2451
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2456
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
2457
(Martin Pool, #386180)
2459
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
2461
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2463
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
2472
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
2473
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
2474
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
2475
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Compatibility Breaks
2497
********************
2499
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
2500
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
2501
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
2502
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
2507
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2508
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2511
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2512
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
2513
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
2514
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2516
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
2517
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
2518
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
2519
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
2521
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2522
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2525
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
2526
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
2527
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2532
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
2533
server. (Jonathan Lange)
2535
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
2536
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
2538
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
2539
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
2540
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
2542
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
2547
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
2548
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
2550
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
2552
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
2553
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
2555
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
2556
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
2558
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
2559
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
2561
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2562
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2563
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2564
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
2566
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
2567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
2569
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2570
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2572
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
2573
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2575
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2576
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2578
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2579
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2581
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2584
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2585
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2587
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2588
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2589
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2590
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2591
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2592
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2593
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2594
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2595
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2596
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2597
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2598
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2599
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2600
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2602
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2603
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2604
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2606
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2607
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2615
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2616
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2617
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2619
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2620
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2621
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2622
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2623
(Alexander Belchenko)
2628
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
2629
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
2630
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2632
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2633
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2636
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2637
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2638
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2639
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2640
configuration. (Robert Collins)
2642
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
2643
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2644
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
2646
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
2647
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
2648
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
2649
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
2651
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
2652
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
2653
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
2655
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
2656
backwards. (Robert Collins)
2658
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
2659
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
2660
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2661
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
2663
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
2664
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2665
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2667
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2668
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2670
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2671
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2672
branches. (Robert Collins)
2674
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2675
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2677
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2682
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2683
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
2734
********************
2736
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2737
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2738
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2739
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2740
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2742
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2743
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2744
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2746
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2747
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2748
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2749
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2750
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2755
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2756
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2757
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2758
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2759
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2762
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2765
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2766
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2768
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2769
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2770
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2771
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2772
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2774
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2775
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2777
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2780
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2781
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2782
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2783
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2786
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2787
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2788
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2789
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2790
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2792
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2793
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2796
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2802
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2803
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2804
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2806
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2807
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2808
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2809
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2810
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2812
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2813
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2816
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2817
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2818
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2820
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2823
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2826
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2827
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2829
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2830
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2832
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2833
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2835
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2836
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2839
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2840
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2841
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2843
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2844
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2845
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2848
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2849
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2850
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2851
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2853
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2854
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2855
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2856
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2857
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2858
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2859
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2860
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2861
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2863
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2869
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2870
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2871
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2872
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2873
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2874
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2875
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2877
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2878
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2880
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2881
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2882
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2883
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2885
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2886
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2888
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2890
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2893
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2894
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2895
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2897
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2898
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2900
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2901
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2903
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2904
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2905
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2907
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2908
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2909
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2910
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2912
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2914
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2917
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2918
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2919
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2920
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2921
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2923
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2924
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2925
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2926
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2927
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2928
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2929
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2931
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2932
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2934
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2935
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2938
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2939
(James Westby, #341558)
2941
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2942
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2944
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2945
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2950
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2952
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2954
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
2955
(James Westby, #336998)
2960
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2963
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2964
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2967
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2968
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2971
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2972
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2973
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2975
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2976
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2977
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2979
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2980
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2981
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2982
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2985
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2986
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2989
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2992
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2993
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2995
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2996
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2997
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2998
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3000
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3001
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3002
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3007
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3008
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3009
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3010
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3011
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3013
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3016
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3017
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3018
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3019
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3025
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3026
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3028
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3029
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3031
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3032
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3033
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3035
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3036
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3037
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3038
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3040
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3041
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3042
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3043
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3045
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3046
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3047
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3050
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3051
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3053
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3054
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3055
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3057
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3058
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3061
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3062
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3063
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3065
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3066
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3068
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3069
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3070
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3072
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3073
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3076
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3077
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3078
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3080
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3081
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3082
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3083
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3084
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3086
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3087
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3088
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3089
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3091
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3092
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3093
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3094
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3096
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3097
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3098
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3100
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3101
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3104
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3105
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3106
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3108
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3109
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3110
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3111
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3112
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3114
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3115
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3116
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3119
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3120
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3121
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3122
desired. (Robert Collins)
3124
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3125
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3126
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3127
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3129
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3130
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3131
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
3143
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
3144
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
3145
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
3147
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3148
*****************************
3150
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3151
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3152
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3153
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3154
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3155
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3161
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3162
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3163
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3165
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3166
********************************
3168
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3169
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3170
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3175
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3176
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3178
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3179
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3181
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3182
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3184
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3186
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3187
*********************************
3189
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3190
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3191
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3193
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3194
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3196
Compatibility Breaks
3197
********************
3199
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3200
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3201
command may need to be adjusted.
3202
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3207
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3208
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3209
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3211
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3214
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3215
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3216
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3219
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3220
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3222
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3223
(John Arbash Meinel)
3225
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3226
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3228
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3230
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3231
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3234
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3240
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3241
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3242
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3243
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3244
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3245
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3246
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3247
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3250
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3251
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3253
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3254
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3255
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3257
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3258
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3260
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3261
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3262
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3265
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3266
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3267
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3269
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3270
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3271
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3272
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3274
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3277
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3278
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3280
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3281
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3283
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3284
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3285
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3287
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3292
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3293
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3295
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3296
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3297
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3299
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3300
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3303
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3304
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3306
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3307
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3310
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3311
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3312
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3314
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3315
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3317
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3318
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3320
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3321
(James Westby, #174539)
3323
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3324
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3326
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3327
error branching from old repositories.
3328
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3330
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3331
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3333
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3334
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3335
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3336
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3338
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3339
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3342
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3343
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3345
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3346
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3348
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3349
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3350
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3352
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3353
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3355
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3356
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3361
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3362
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3363
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3366
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3367
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3369
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3370
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3375
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3376
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3377
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3378
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3379
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3381
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3382
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3384
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3385
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3386
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3387
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3388
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3389
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3391
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3392
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3394
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3395
"author" argument being deprecated.
3397
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3399
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3400
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3401
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3402
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3404
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3405
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3406
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3408
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3409
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3410
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3412
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3413
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3415
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3416
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3417
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3418
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3423
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3424
free of virtual file system methods.
3425
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3427
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3428
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3429
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3431
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3432
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3433
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3434
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3435
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3436
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3438
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3440
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3441
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3443
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3444
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3445
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3446
stream the operation.
3447
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3449
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3450
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3452
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3453
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3454
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3455
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3456
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3458
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3459
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3461
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3462
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3463
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3465
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3466
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3469
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3472
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3473
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3474
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3476
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3477
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3478
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3480
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3481
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3482
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3484
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3485
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3486
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3488
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3489
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3490
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3491
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3492
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3494
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3495
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3496
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3497
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3498
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3499
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3501
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3502
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3503
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3504
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3505
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3507
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3508
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3510
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3511
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3513
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3514
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3515
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3516
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3517
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3519
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3520
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
3529
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
3531
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3532
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3533
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3534
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3535
by showing the rate of network IO.
3537
Changes from RC1 to Final
3538
*************************
3540
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3541
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3543
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3544
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3546
Compatibility Breaks
3547
********************
3549
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3550
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3551
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3552
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3554
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3555
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3556
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3559
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3560
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3561
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3562
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3564
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3565
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3566
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3569
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3574
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3575
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3576
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3579
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3580
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3581
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3583
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3584
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3585
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3586
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3587
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3588
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3589
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3590
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3591
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3597
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3600
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3603
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3604
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3605
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3607
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3608
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3609
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3610
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3611
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3613
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3614
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3616
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3617
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3618
level for better precision.
3621
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3622
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3624
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3625
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3626
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3628
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3629
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3630
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3633
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3634
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3635
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
3640
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
3642
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3644
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3645
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3646
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3648
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3649
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3650
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3651
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3652
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3653
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3655
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3656
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3658
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3659
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3661
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3662
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3663
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3665
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3666
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3667
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3670
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3671
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3673
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3674
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3675
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3676
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3678
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3679
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3681
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3683
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3688
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3693
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3694
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3697
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3698
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3700
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3701
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3703
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3704
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3706
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3707
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3708
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3709
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3711
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3712
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3713
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3718
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3719
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3720
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3721
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3722
compile buffers, are such an example).
3725
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
3726
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3729
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3730
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3731
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3734
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3735
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3737
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3738
formatters to retrict the output.
3745
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3746
:Released: 2009-01-19
3748
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3749
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3750
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3751
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3752
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3754
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3755
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3758
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3759
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3764
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3767
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
3768
(John Arbash Meinel)
3775
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3776
:Released: 2009-01-09
3781
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3782
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3787
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3788
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3790
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3791
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3792
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3793
implement other plugins.
3796
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3802
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3803
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3805
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3806
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3808
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3809
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3810
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3811
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3814
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3815
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3816
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3817
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3818
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3820
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3821
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3822
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3823
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3824
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3829
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3830
control directory. (#139691)
3832
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3833
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3835
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3836
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3838
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3839
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3840
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3842
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3843
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3845
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3846
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3847
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3849
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3850
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3852
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3855
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3856
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3857
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3859
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3860
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3862
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3863
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3864
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3866
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3867
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3868
in the appropriate sections.
3869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3871
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3872
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3873
(John Arbash meinel)
3875
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3878
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3881
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3882
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3884
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3885
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3886
work better with how it splits its requests.
3887
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3889
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3890
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3891
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3893
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3896
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3898
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3901
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3907
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3908
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3909
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3915
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3916
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3917
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3918
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3920
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3921
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3923
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3924
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3925
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3926
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3928
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3929
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3930
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3931
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3936
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3937
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3938
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3940
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3941
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3942
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3943
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3945
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3946
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3947
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3953
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3954
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3955
(John Arbash Meinel)
3957
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3958
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3959
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3960
(John Arbash Meinel)
3962
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3963
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3964
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3965
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3967
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3968
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3969
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3971
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3972
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3973
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3974
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3976
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3977
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3978
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3979
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3980
(John Arbash Meinel)
12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
21
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
22
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
25
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
26
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
27
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
32
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
33
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
35
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
36
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
37
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
38
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
39
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
40
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3982
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3983
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3985
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3986
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3987
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3989
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3990
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3991
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3992
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3994
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3995
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3996
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3997
(John Arbash Meinel)
3999
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4000
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4001
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4002
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4003
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4004
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4005
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4007
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4008
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4015
:Released: 2008-12-05
4017
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4018
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4019
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4020
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4023
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4028
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4029
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4030
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4031
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4033
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4034
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4035
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4036
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4037
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4043
:Released: 2008-11-28
4045
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4046
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4047
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4048
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4049
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4054
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4055
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4057
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4063
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4064
history just to set the last revision info.
4065
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4067
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4068
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4069
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4070
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4072
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4073
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4074
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4075
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4076
(John Arbash Meinel)
4078
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4079
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4081
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4082
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4083
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4084
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4085
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4087
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4088
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4089
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4090
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4095
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4096
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4098
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4099
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4101
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4102
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4103
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4104
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4106
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4107
starting with a dotted revno.
4108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4110
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4111
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4112
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4114
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4115
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4116
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4118
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4119
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4120
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4122
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4123
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4124
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4125
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4127
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4128
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4129
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4131
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4132
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4137
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4138
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4139
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4140
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4142
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4143
have changed incompatibly.
4145
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4146
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4147
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4148
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4149
don't need to change.
4151
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4152
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4157
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4158
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4160
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4166
:Released: 2008-11-07
4168
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4169
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4170
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4171
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4172
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4173
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4178
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4179
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4181
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4183
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4184
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4185
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4191
:Released: 2008-10-31
4196
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4197
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4199
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4200
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4201
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4202
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4207
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4208
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4209
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4210
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4211
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4212
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4214
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4215
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4217
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4218
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4219
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4221
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4222
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4223
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4226
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4227
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4229
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4230
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4232
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4233
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4235
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4236
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4237
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4238
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4239
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4240
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4241
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4242
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4243
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4244
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4249
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4250
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4252
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4253
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4255
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4256
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4257
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4259
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4260
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4261
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4263
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4264
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4265
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4267
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4268
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4269
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4270
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4271
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4272
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4274
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4275
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4277
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4278
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4280
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4281
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4282
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4283
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4284
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4286
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4287
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4288
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4289
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4294
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4299
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4304
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4305
configuration of authetication credentials.
4311
:Released: 2008-10-16
4313
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4314
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4315
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4316
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4317
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4322
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4323
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4328
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4329
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4335
:Released: 2008-10-07
4340
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4341
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4342
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4343
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4344
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4346
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4347
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4349
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4350
server. (Marius Kruger)
4352
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4353
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4354
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4355
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4356
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4357
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4362
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4363
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4364
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4371
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4372
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4373
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4374
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4376
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4377
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4380
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4381
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4384
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4387
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4389
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4390
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4392
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4393
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4395
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4396
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4397
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4398
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4399
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4400
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4401
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4402
operations. (Robert Collins)
4404
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4406
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4407
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4408
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
4413
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
4414
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
4415
(Martin Pool, #279381)
4417
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4418
repository now preserves the repository format.
4419
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4421
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
4422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
4424
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
4425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
4427
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
4429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
4431
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4434
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
4435
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
4436
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
4438
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
4439
is in a different repository than the current one.
4440
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
4442
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
4443
(David Futcher, #242106)
4445
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4446
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4448
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4449
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4450
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4451
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
4453
* Trivial documentation fix.
4454
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
4456
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4457
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4458
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4459
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4464
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
4469
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
4470
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
4471
to use. (Robert Collins)
4473
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
4474
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
4475
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
4477
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
4478
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
4479
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
4480
they want. (Robert Collins)
4485
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
4486
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
4487
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
4489
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
4490
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
4493
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
4496
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
4497
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
4499
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
4505
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
4506
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
4508
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
4509
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
4510
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
4512
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
4513
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
4514
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
4516
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
4517
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4519
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
4520
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
4522
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
4523
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
4525
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
4526
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
4527
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
4528
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

:Released: 2008-09-24
4546
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
4547
file paths when we encounter complex history.
4552
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
4553
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
4554
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
4555
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

:Released: 2008-09-23
4564
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
4565
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
4566
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
4567
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
4568
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
4569
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
4574
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4575
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4576
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4582
:Released: 2008-09-17
4584
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4585
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4586
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4587
connect to the stacked-on location.
4592
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4593
repository now preserves the repository format.
4594
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4596
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4597
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4599
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4602
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4609
:Released: 2008-09-09
4611
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4612
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4613
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4614
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4615
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4616
it in a future repository format.
4622
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4625
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4626
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4627
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
4629
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
4630
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
4631
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
4636
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
4637
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
4639
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4644
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4645
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4648
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4649
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4651
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4652
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4655
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4656
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4657
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel)
4660
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4661
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4663
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4664
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4665
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4666
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4667
(John Arbash Meinel)
4669
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4670
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4671
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4672
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4673
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4674
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4675
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4676
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4677
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4678
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4683
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4684
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4686
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4687
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4688
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4690
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4691
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4692
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4694
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4695
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4696
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4697
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4698
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4699
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4701
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4702
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4704
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4705
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4707
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4708
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4709
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4710
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4711
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4712
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4714
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4715
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4717
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4718
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4720
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4721
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4722
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4723
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4725
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4726
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4728
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4729
assuming the host name is ascii.
4730
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4732
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4733
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4738
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4743
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4745
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4746
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4747
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4750
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4751
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4753
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4754
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4756
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4757
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4762
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4763
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4764
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4765
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4767
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4771
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4772
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4773
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4775
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4781
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4782
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4785
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4786
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4787
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4788
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4789
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4791
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4792
is unknown in both source and target.
4793
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4795
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4796
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4797
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4798
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4800
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4801
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4802
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4803
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4809
:Released: 2008-09-05
4811
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4812
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4813
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4819
:Released: 2008-09-03
4824
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4825
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4826
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4827
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4833
:Released: 2008-08-29
4835
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4836
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4837
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4838
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4839
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4840
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4841
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4842
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4843
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4844
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4845
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4846
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4851
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4852
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4853
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4854
start of the string (causing more copies).
4855
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4856
especially for projects with large files.
4857
(John Arbash Meinel)
4859
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4860
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4861
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4862
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4863
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4865
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4866
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4867
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4868
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4869
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
4870
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
4876
:Released: 2008-08-25
42
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
43
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
44
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
45
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
46
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
47
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
49
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
50
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
54
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
56
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
57
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
58
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
61
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
62
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
66
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
67
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
68
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
69
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
73
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
74
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
75
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
76
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
77
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
79
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
80
is unknown in both source and target.
81
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
83
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
84
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
85
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
86
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4878
92
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4879
93
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6180
1315
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
6181
1316
features have been added.
6186
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

Notes When Upgrading
6197
********************
6199
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6200
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6205
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6206
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6207
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6208
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6211
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6212
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6213
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6214
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6215
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6216
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6218
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6219
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6220
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6221
(Alexander Belchenko)
6223
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6225
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6226
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6231
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6232
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6234
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6235
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6241
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6243
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6245
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6246
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6247
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6249
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6250
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6252
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6253
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6255
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6256
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6257
(Alexander Belchenko)
6259
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6260
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6261
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6262
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6264
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6267
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6268
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6269
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6270
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6271
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6276
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6277
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6278
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6279
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6281
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6282
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6284
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6285
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
6287
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6288
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
6289
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
6291
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
6292
(#198793, John Ferlito)
6294
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6297
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6298
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6300
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6302
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6304
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6305
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6307
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6308
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6310
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6311
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6313
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6314
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6316
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6317
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6319
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6320
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6325
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6326
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6331
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6332
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6333
(Alexander Belchenko)
6338
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6340
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6341
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6347
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6348
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6349
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6351
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6352
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6353
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6354
(Alexander Belchenko)
6356
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6357
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6358
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6359
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
6361
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6362
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6363
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6366
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6367
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6368
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6370
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6371
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6372
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6374
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6375
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6376
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6377
format. (Robert Collins)
6383
:Released: 2008-02-15
6388

Notes When Upgrading
6397
********************
6399
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6400
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6401
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6402
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6403
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6409
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6410
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6412
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6413
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6414
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6416
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6417
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6418
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6419
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6420
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6421
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
6427
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6428
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6430
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6431
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6432
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6435
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6436
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6437
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6438
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6439
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6441
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6442
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6443
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6444
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6445
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6446
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6447
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6448
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
6453
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6454
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6456
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6457
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6459
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6460
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6462
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6463
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6464
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6466
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
6467
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
6468

6473
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
6474
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
6476
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
6477
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
6479
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
6480

6490
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
6491

popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6495
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.

6505
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
6506
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
6508
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight

6511
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
6512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
6514
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
6515
more characters which should be considered valid.
6516
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
6518
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
6519
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
6521
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
6522
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
6527
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
6528
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
6530
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
6531
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
6537
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
6538
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
6544
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
6545
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
6546
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
6548
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
6549
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
6550
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6552
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6553
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6554
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6555
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6557
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6559
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6560
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6561
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6562
server. (Robert Collins)
6564
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6565
operate. (Robert Collins)
6567
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6568
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6569
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6571
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6572
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6573
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6574
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6576
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6577
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6579
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6580
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6581
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6583
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6584
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6586
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6587
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6589
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6590
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6591
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6592
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1325
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1326
---------------------
1328
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1330
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1331
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1335
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1336
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1337
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1338
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1341
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1342
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1343
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1344
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1345
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1346
(Alexander Belchenko)
1348
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1349
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1350
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1351
(Alexander Belchenko)
1353
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1355
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1356
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1360
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1361
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1363
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1364
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1369
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1371
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1373
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1374
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1375
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1377
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1378
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1380
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1381
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1383
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1384
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1385
(Alexander Belchenko)
1387
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1388
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1389
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1390
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1392
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1395
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1396
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1397
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1398
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1399
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1403
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1404
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1405
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1406
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1408
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1409
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1411
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1412
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1415
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

1418
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

1421
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1424
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1425
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1427
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1429
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1431
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1432
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1434
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1435
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1437
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1438
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1440
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1441
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1443
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1444
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1446
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1447
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1451
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1452
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1456
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1457
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1458
(Alexander Belchenko)
1462
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1464
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1465
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1470
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1471
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1472
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1474
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1475
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1476
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1477
(Alexander Belchenko)
1479
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1480
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1481
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1482
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1484
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1485
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1486
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1489
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1490
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1491
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1493
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1494
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1495
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1497
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1498
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1499
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1500
format. (Robert Collins)
1508
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1512
---------------------
1514
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1516
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1517
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1518
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1519
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1520
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1525
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1526
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1528
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1529
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1530

present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1702
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

6610
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6611
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6612
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6613
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6615
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6616
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6617
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6618
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6623
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6626
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
6629
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
6630
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
6635
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
6638
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6639
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
6640
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6642
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6644
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6645
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6646
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6647
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6648
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6650
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6651
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6652
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
6654
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
6655
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
6657
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
6660
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
6662
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
6664
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
6667
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
6668
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6673
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6674
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6676
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6679
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6682
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6683
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6685
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6686
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6688
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6689
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6691
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6692
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6694
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6695
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6696
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6698
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6701
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6702
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6705
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6707
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6708
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6711
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6712
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6714
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6717
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6720
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6721
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
6723
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
6726
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6727
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6730
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6731
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6737
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6740
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6741
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6742
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6743
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6744
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6745
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6747
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6752
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6755
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6756
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6758
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6760
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6761
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6762
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6765
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6766
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6768
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6777
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6778
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6779
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6781
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6782
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6785
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6786
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6788
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6789
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6791
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6792
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6794
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6795
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6796
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6798
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6799
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6801
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6802
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6804
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6805
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6808
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6809
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6811
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6812
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
6818
:Released: 2007-12-14
6823
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6825
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
6828
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
6830
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
6831
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
6838
:Released: 2007-12-11
6843
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
6844
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
6845
by mail to the mailing list.
6851
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6853
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6854
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6855
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6856
feedback but also incur more latency.
6857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
6859
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6860
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
6865
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6867
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6873
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6874
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6875
wraps its output in a StringIO.
6882
:Released: 2007-12-07
6887
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6889
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6892
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6895
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6896
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6897
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6898
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6900
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6903
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6904
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6906
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6907
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6908
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6910
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6911
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6912
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6913
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6914
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6915
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6916
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6917
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6918
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6923
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
6926
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
6931
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
6932
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
6934
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
6936
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
6938
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
6939
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
6941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
6943
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
6944
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
6946
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
6947
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
6952
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
6953
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
6962
********************
6964
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6965
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6966
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6967
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6969
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6970
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6972
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6973
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6975
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6976
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6977
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6978
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6979
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6980
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6981
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6982
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6983
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6984
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6985
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6986
from any tree without problems.
6987
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6992
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6993
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6994
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6996
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6997
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7003
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7004
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7005
supported transports.
7008
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7009
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7010
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7012
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7013
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7015
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7016
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7017
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7018
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7020
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7021
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7026
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7027
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7028
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7029
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7031
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7032
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7033
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7034
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7036
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7037
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7039
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7040
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7042
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7043
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7045
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7046
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7052
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7055
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7056
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7059
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7060
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7061
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7062
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7064
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7065
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7066
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7067
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7075
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7076
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7078
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7079
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7081
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7082
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7084
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7087
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7088
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7090
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7091
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7093
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7096
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7099
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7102
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7103
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7106
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7107
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7109
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7110
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7112
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7113
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7115
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7118
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7119
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7120
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7121
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7123
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7125
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7126
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7129
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7130
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7132
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7134
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7136
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7137
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7139
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7140
specify a port in urls.
7141
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7143
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7144
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7146
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7147
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7149
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7150
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7152
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7153
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7155
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7156
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7157
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7159
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7161
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7162
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7164
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7167
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7168
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7170
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7171
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7173
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7174
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7175
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7177
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7178
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7180
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7181
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7182
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7183
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7185
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7186
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7188
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7189
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7190
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7192
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7193
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7195
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7196
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7198
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7204
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7205
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7207
* The return value of
7208
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7209
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7210
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7211
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7213
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7216
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7217
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7224
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7225
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7226
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7229
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7230
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7232
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1717
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1718
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1720
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1721
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1722
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1723
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1727
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1730
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1733
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1734
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1738
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1741
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1742
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1743
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1745
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1747
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1748
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1749
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1750
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1751
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1753
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1754
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1755
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1757
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1758
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1760
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1763
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1765
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1767
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1770
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1771
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1776
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1778
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1781
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1784
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1785
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1787
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1788
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1790
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1791
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1793
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1794
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1796
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1797
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1798
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1800
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1803
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1804
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1807
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1809
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1810
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1813
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1814
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1816
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1819
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1822
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1823
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1825
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1828
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1829
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1832
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1833
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1834
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1838
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1841
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1842
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1843
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1844
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1845
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1846
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1848
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1852
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1855
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1856
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1858
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1860
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1861
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1862
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1865
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1866
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1868
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1875
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1876
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1877
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1879
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1880
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1883
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1884
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1886
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1887
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1889
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1890
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1892
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1893
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1894
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1896
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1897
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1899
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1900
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1902
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1903
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1906
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1907
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1909
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1910
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1918
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1920
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1923
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1925
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1926
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1930
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1931
---------------------
1935
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1936
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1937
by mail to the mailing list.
1942
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1944
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1945
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1946
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1947
feedback but also incur more latency.
1948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1950
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1951
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1955
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1957
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1962
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1963
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1964
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1968
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1969
---------------------
1973
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1975
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1978
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1981
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1982
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1983
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1984
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1986
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1989
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1990
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1993
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1994
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1996
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1997
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1998
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1999
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2000
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2001
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2002
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2003
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2004
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2008
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2011
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2015
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2016
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2018
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2020
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2022
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2023
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2027
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2028
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2030
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2031
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2035
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2036
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2039
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2040
---------------------
2042
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2044
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2045
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2046
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2047
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2049
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2050
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2052
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2053
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2055
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2056
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2057
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2058
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2059
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2060
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2061
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2062
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2063
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2064
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2065
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2066
from any tree without problems.
2067
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2071
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2072
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2073
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2075
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2076
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2077
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2082
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2083
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2084
supported transports.
2087
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2088
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2089
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2091
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2092
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2094
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2095
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2096
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2097
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2099
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2100
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2104
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2105
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2106
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2107
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2109
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2110
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2111
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2112
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2114
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2115
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2117
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2118
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2120
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2121
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2123
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2124
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2129
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2132
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2133
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2136
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2137
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2138
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2139
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2141
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2142
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2143
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2144
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2150
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2151
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2153
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2154
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2156
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2157
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2159
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2162
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2163
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2165
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2166
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2168
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2171
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2174
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2177
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2178
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2181
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2182
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2184
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2185
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2187
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2188
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2193
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2194
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2195
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2196
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2198
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2200
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2201
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2204
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2205
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2207
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2209
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2211
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2212
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2214
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2215
specify a port in urls.
2216
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2218
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2219
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2221
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2222
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2224
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2225
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2227
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2228
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2230
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2231
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2232
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2234
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2236
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2237
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2239
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2242
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2243
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2245
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2246
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2248
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2249
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2250
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2252
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2253
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2255
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2256
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2257
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2258
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2260
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2261
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2263
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2264
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2265
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2267
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2268
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2270
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2273
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2278
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2279
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2281
* The return value of
2282
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2283
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2284
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2285
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2287
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2290
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2291
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2297
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2298
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2299
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2302
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2303
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2305
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7243
2315
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7249
:Released: 2007-10-29
7254
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7255
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7257
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7258
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7259
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7260
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7261
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7262
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7263
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7264
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7265
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7266
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7267
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7268
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7274
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7275
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7276
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7277
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7278
commands. (Robert Collins)
7280
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7281
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7282
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7285
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7287
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7288
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7290
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7291
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7294
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7295
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7296
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7301
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7302
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7304
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7305
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7307
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7308
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7309
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7310
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7312
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7315
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7316
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7317
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7318
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7320
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7321
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7323
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7324
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7326
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7327
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7329
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7330
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7335
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7336
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7338
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7339
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7341
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7342
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7344
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7345
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7347
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7348
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7353
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7355
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7361
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7362
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7363
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7365
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7366
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7368
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7369
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7371
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7372
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7373
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7374
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7376
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7377
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7378
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7379
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7380
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7382
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7383
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7387
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7389
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7390
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7392
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7395
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7398
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7399
contains a symbolic link.
7400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7402
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7403
(James Westby, #140615)
7405
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7406
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7409
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7410
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7411
(Martin Pool, #144633)
7413
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7415
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
7416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
7418
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
7420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
7422
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
7423
directory to detect leaking tests.
7424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
7426
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
7427
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
7428
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
7430
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
7433
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
7434
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7436
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
7442
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7443
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7445
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7446
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7447
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7449
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7450
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7451
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7453
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7454
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7456
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7457
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7459
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7460
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7463
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7464
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7466
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7467
class that needs it.
7470
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7471
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7473
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7474
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7475
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7477
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7478
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7479
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7482
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7483
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7484
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7485
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
7491
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7492
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7493
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7495
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7496
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7497
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7498
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7500
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7501
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7504
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7505
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7506
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7508
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7509
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7510
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7512
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7513
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7515
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7516
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7517
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7519
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7520
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7522
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7523
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7524
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7526
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7527
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7528
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7530
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7531
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7532
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7533
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7535
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7536
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7537
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7538
returned. (Robert Collins)
7540
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7541
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7543
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7544
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7545
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7546
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7549
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7550
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
7555
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7556
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7558
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7559
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7560
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7561
makes this behavior available to other users.
7564
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7565
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
7571
:Released: 2007-09-26
7576
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7577
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7578
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7580
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7582
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7583
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7584
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7585
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7587
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7588
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7595
:Released: 2007-09-11
7597
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7598
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7604
:Released: 2007-09-11
7609
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7610
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7611
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7612
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7615
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7616
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7617
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7623
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7624
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7625
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7628
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7629
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7630
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7632
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7633
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7634
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7636
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7637
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7639
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7640
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7641
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7642
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7643
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7644
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7645
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7646
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7647
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7648
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7650
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7651
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7653
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7654
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7655
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7660
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7661
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7663
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7664
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7665
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7667
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7668
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7670
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7671
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7673
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7676
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7677
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7679
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7680
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7682
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7683
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7685
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7686
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7688
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7690
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7693
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7694
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7695
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7696
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7698
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7700
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7701
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7704
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7705
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7707
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7708
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7711
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7712
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7714
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7715
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7717
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7718
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7719
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7720
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7721
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7722
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7723
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7725
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7726
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7728
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7729
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7731
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7732
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7734
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7737
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7741
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7742
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7744
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7745
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7746
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7748
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7749
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7750
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7755
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7756
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7758
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7761
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7764
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7765
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7767
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7769
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7770
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7772
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7773
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7775
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7776
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7777
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7778
space). (Robert Collins)
7780
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7781
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7784
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7785
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7787
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7788
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7790
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7791
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7792
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7793
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7795
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7796
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7797
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7800
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7803
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7804
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7805
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7807
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7808
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7809
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7810
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7811
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7816
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7817
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7819
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7820
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7821
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7822
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7823
affected. (Robert Collins)
7825
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7826
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7827
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7830
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7831
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7836
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7837
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7839
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7840
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7842
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7843
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7845
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7848
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7849
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7854
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7855
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7856
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7857
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7859
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7860
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7862
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7863
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7864
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7865
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7867
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7868
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7869
present. (Robert Collins)
7871
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7872
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7873
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7874
API. (Robert Collins)
7876
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7877
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7880
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7881
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7883
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7884
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7885
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7886
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7887
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7888
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7890
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7891
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7892
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7894
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7895
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7896
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7897
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7900
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7903
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7904
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7905
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7906
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7907
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7908
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7909
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7911
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7912
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7913
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7914
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7916
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7917
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7918
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7919
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7920
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7921
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7923
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7924
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7925
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7927
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7928
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7934
:Released: 2007-08-28
7939
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7940
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7941
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7942
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7943
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7944
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7945
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7946
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7952
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7953
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7954
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7960
:Released: 2007-08-14
7965
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7966
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7967
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7968
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7969
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7971
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7974
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7978
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7979
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7982
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7983
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7986
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7989
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7990
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7992
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7993
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7995
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7996
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7998
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7999
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8001
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8002
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8004
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8010
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8011
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8013
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8014
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8016
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8017
the repository (Robert Collins)
8019
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8020
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8021
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8022
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8023
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8025
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8026
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8028
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8029
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8030
(John Arbash Meinel)
8032
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8033
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8034
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8036
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8037
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8038
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8039
(John Arbash Meinel)
8041
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8042
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8045
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8046
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8048
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8051
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8053
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8055
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8056
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8058
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8059
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8062
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8063
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8064
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8065
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8067
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8068
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8069
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8071
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8072
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8073
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8075
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8076
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8078
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8079
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8080
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8081
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8082
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8083
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8086
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8087
(Alexander Belchenko)
8089
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8090
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8092
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8093
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8095
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8097
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8098
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8103
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8104
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8105
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8106
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8108
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8110
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8113
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8114
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8115
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8116
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8117
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8118
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8123
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8124
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8125
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8126
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8128
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8129
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8130
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8131
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8132
tests have been refactored too.
8135
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8136
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8137
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8141
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8142
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8143
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8145
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8146
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8147
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8148
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8149
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8150
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8151
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8153
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8154
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8155
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8156
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8157
(John Arbash Meinel)
8159
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8160
functionality for testing.
8162
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8164
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8165
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8167
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8169
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8172
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8173
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8175
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8176
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8177
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8179
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8182
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8183
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8185
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8186
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8187
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8188
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8190
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8191
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8193
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8194
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8195
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8197
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8200
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8201
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8202
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8203
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8204
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8205
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8207
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8208
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8209
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8210
many files. (Robert Collins)
8212
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8213
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8214
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8215
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8220
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8221
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8222
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8224
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8225
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8227
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8228
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8229
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8235
:Released: 2007-07-17
8240
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
8246
:Released: 2007-07-10
8251
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
8252
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8254
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8255
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
8256
(James Westby, #122656)
8258
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8259
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
8261
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8262
authentication header.
8263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
8265
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
8267
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
8268
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
8270
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
8272
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
8273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
8275
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8276
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
8277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
8279
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8280
individually and as part of revision ranges.
8281
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
8283
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8284
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8286
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8289
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8290
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8292
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8294
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8299
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8300
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8301
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8302
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8303
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8304
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8306
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8307
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8308
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8310
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8313
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8314
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8316
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8317
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8319
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8320
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8322
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8323
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8324
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8325
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8326
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8328
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8329
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8331
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8332
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8333
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8335
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8336
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8338
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8340
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8341
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8343
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8344
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8347
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8350
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8351
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8353
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8354
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8356
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8357
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8359
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8361
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8362
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8364
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8370
* Testing cleanups -

These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8390
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8392
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8393
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8394
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8396
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8397
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8399
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
8400
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8402
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8404
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8405
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8406
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8407
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8408
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8409
same location. (Robert Collins)
8414
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
8416
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
8418
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
8420
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
8423
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
8426
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
8427
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
8428
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
8430
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8432
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
8433
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
8434
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8436
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8437
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8439
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8440
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8441
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8443
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8444
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8445
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8447
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8448
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8449
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8451
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8452
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8455
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8456
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
8458
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
8459
(Alexander Belchenko)
8464
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8465
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8466
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8467
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8469
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8470
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8471
testing. (Robert Collins)
8473
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8474
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8476
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8477
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8478
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8479
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8480
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8481
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8482
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8484
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8485
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8486
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8487
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8489
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8490
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8492
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8493
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
8518
********************
8520
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8521
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8522
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8523
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8524
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8525
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8526
and unlock() like so::
8528
work_tree.lock_read()
8530
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8536
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8537
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8539
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8540
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8541
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8543
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8544
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8545
too. (Robert Collins)
8550
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
8551
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8554
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8555
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8557
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8558
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8560
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8561
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8562
understanding what changes have occurred
8563
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8565
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8566
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8567
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8569
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8570
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8571
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8572
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8574
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8580
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8581
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8582
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8583
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8584
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8586
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8587
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8588
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8590
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8593
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8597
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8598
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8600
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8601
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8603
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8604
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8606
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8607
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8609
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8610
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8612
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8613
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8614
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8619
:Released: 2007-05-07
8624
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8625
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8626
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8627
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
8628
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
8630
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
8631
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
8632
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
8634
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
8635
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
8640
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
8641
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
8642
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
8644
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
8645
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
8646
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
8647
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
8652
:Released: 2007-04-30
8657
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8658
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
8659
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8660
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
8662
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
8663
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
8664
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
8666
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
8667
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
8669
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
8670
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8672
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8673
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8678
:Released: 2007-04-26
8680
Notes When Upgrading
8681
********************
8683
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8684
it could be recovered again.
8685
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8686
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8687
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8689
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8691
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8692
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8697
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8698
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8700
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8701
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8702
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8703
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8705
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8706
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8708
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8709
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8710
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8712
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8713
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8714
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8716
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8717
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8718
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8720
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8721
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
8724
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8727
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8728
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8729
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8730
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8732
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8735
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8736
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8737
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8740
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8741
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8743
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8744
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8746
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8747
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8748
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8749
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8752
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8753
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8755
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8756
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8758
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8759
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8760
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8762
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8763
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8764
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8766
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8767
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8768
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8770
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8771
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8772
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8773
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8775
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8776
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8777
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8778
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8780
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8781
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8782
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8783
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8784
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8785
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8786
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8787
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8794
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8795
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8797
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8798
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8799
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8800
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8801
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8803
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8804
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8806
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8807
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8809
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8810
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8812
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8813
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8815
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8816
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8817
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8820
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8821
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8822
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8823
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8824
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8827
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8828
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8829
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8831
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8832
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8835
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8836
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8837
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8840
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8841
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8842
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8843
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8844
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8846
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8847
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8848
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8849
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8851
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8852
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8854
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8855
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8856
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8857
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8858
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8859
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8861
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8862
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8864
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8865
help. (Robert Collins)
8867
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8868
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8870
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8871
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8872
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8873
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8874
(John Arbash Meinel)
8876
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8877
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8878
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8879
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8880
useful. (Robert Collins)
8882
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8888
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8889
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8891
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8892
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8894
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8895
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8896
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8898
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8901
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8902
the file, and does it faster.
8903
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8905
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8906
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8907
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8909
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8910
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8911
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8912
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8914
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8915
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8916
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8917
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8919
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8920
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8922
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8923
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8924
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8925
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8928
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8930
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8931
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8933
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8934
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8936
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8937
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8938
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8939
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8943
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8944
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8949
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8950
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8951
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8953
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8954
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8956
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8957
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8958
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8959
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8960
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8961
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8962
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8963
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8965
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8966
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8967
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8969
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8970
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8971
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8972
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8973
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8975
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8977
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8978
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8979
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8981
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8982
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8988
:Released: 2007-04-01
8993
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8996
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8997
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9003
:Released: 2007-03-26
9008
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9009
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9015
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9016
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9017
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9018
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9019
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9020
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9021
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9022
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9028
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9029
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9030
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9032
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9033
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9036
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9037
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9038
(John Arbash Meinel)
9040
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9041
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9042
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9043
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9044
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9049
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9052
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9053
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9055
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9056
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9058
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9059
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9060
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9062
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9063
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9065
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9066
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9067
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9068
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9069
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9071
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9072
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9073
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9075
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9084
********************
9086
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9087
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9088
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9093
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9094
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9096
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9097
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9099
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9101
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9102
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9104
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9105
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9110
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9116
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9117
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9118
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9119
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9121
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9122
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9124
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9125
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9127
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9130
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9131
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9137
:Released: 2007-03-07
9142
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9143
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9144
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9145
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9146
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9147
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9149
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9150
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9151
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9152
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9153
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9154
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9156
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9158
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9159
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9160
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9161
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9162
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9163
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9164
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9165
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9170
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9171
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9173
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9174
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9175
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9176
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9178
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9179
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9180
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9181
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9182
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9184
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9187
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9190
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9193
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9194
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9197
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9200
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9201
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9203
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9204
directory. (Martin Pool)
9206
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9207
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9208
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9209
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9211
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9212
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9213
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9214
in docs/configuration.txt.
9216
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9217
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9220
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9221
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9222
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9223
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9224
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9225
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9227
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9228
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9230
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9231
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9233
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9239
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9240
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9241
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9242
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9243
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9244
(John Arbash Meinel)
9246
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9247
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9250
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9251
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9252
(John Arbash Meinel)
9254
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9255
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9256
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9257
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9258
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9259
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9261
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9262
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9263
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9265
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9266
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9267
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9268
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9270
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9272
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9273
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9274
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9275
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9277
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9278
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9279
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9280
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9282
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9283
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9284
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9286
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9287
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9288
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9290
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9291
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9292
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9293
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9295
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9296
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9297
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9299
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9300
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9301
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9303
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9304
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9305
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9306
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9307
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9308
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9309
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9310
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9311
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9312
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9313
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9318
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9319
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9320
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9322
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9325
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9326
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9327
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9328
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
9330
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9331
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
9334
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9335
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
9337
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
9339
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9340
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
9341
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
9343
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
9344
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
9346
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
9347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
9349
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
9350
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

9364
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

9375
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
9380
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9381
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9382
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9384
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9385
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9386
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9392
:Released: 2007-01-16
9397
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9398
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9399
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9400
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9402
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9405
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9406
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9407
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9409
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9410
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9412
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
9415
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9416
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9417
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9418
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9419
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9420
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9422
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9423
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9424
should enable you to do::
9426
[/home/user/project]
9427
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9428
push_location:policy = appendpath
9430
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
9431
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
9434
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9435
for each file. For example::
9437
$ bzr status --short
9443
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
9444
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
9446
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
9448
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
9449
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
9451
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
9456
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
9457
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
9458
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
9459
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
9461
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
9462
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9463
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
9465
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9467
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9468
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9469
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9470
(Alexander Belchenko)
9472
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
9475
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
9476
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
9478
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
9483
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9484
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
9486
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9487
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9488
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9489
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9490
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
9492
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
9493
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
9495
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
9496
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
9498
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9500
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9502
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9503
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9504
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9505
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9506
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9508
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9509
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9510
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9511
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
9513
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
9514
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
9516
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
9517
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
9519
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

9546
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
9547
operations are substantially faster.
9548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
9550
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
9551
tree from some other url. For example:
9552
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``

(Daniel Silverstone)
9555
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a

location for general information, outside of a specific command.
9557
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
9558
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
9560
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
9563
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
9564
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9565
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9566
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9567
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9568
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
9573
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
9574
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9577
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9578
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9579
(John Arbash Meinel)
9581
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9582
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9583
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9584
(John Arbash Meinel)
9586
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9587
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9589
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9590
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9592
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9593
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9599
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9600
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9601
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9603
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9604
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9605
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9606
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9608
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9610
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9611
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9613
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9614
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9615
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9618
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9619
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9620
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9622
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9623
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9624
them as full references rather than integers.
9625
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9627
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9628
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9630
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
9632
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
9633
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
9635
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9636
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9638
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9639
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9640
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
9641
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
9643
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9644
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
9645
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
9647
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
9648
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
9650
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9651
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9652
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
9653
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
9654
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
9659
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
9660
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
9665
:Released: 2006-10-30
9670
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9671
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9672
(John Arbash Meinel)
9677
:Released: 2006-10-23
9682
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9683
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9684
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9685
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9687
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9688
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9690
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9692
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9693
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9694
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9695
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9697
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9698
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9699
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9700
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9701
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9706
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9707
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9712
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9713
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9714
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9716
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9717
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9718
(John Arbash Meinel)
9720
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9721
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9722
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
9724
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
9725
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9728
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9729
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9730
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9732
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9733
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9734
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9735
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9736
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9737
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9739
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9740
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9741
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9744
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9745
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9750
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9751
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9752
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9755
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9756
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9758
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9759
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9760
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9762
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9763
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9765
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9766
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9767
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9768
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9770
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9771
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9773
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9774
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9775
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9777
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9778
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9780
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9782
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9783
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9789
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9790
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9791
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9792
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9794
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9795
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
9796
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
9815
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
9821
:Released: 2006-09-25
9826
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9827
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9828
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9829
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9830
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9831
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9832
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9834
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9835
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9836
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9838
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9840
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9841
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9843
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9844
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9845
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9848
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9849
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9850
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9851
(John Arbash Meinel)
9853
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9854
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9855
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9856
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9859
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9860
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9861
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9862
(John Arbash Meinel)
9867
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9868
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9870
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9872
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9873
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9874
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9876
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9877
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9879
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9880
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9882
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9885
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9886
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9888
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9890
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9891
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9893
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9894
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9896
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9897
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9899
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9900
(John Arbash Meinel)
9902
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9903
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9904
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9906
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9907
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9909
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9910
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9911
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9912
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9914
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9915
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9916
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9918
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9919
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9924
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9929
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9930
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9931
(John Arbash Meinel)
9933
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9934
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9935
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9936
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9938
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9941
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9942
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9943
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9945
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9946
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9948
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9949
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9950
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9952
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9953
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9954
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9955
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9956
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9957
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9958
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9959
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9960
caller to repeat their request.
9961
(John Arbash Meinel)
9963
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9964
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9966
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9967
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9969
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9970
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9971
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9972
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9973
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9974
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9975
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9977
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9978
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9979
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9980
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9981
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9982
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9983
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9984
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9987
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9988
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9989
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9991
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9992
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9994
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9995
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9997
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9998
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10003
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10004
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10006
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10007
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10008
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10010
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10011
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10012
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10017
:Released: 2006-08-29
10021
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10022
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10024
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10025
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10026
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10027
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10028
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10030
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10031
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10032
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10034
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10035
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10037
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10038
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10039
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10044
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10046
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10047
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10048
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10050
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10052
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10054
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10055
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10056
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10057
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10059
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10060
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10061
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10062
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10063
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10065
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10066
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10068
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10069
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10071
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10072
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10074
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10075
in handling of revision properties.
10076
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10078
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10079
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10084
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10085
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10086
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10087
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10088
(John Arbash Meinel)
10090
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10091
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10092
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10097
:Released: 2006-08-11
10102
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10103
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10104
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10105
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10106
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10107
a more conservative list than the old default.
10108
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10109
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10110
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10111
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10113
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10114
to more locations than just branch locations.
10120
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10121
revno:N:branch. For example,
10122
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10123
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10125
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10126
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10127
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10128
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10129
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10130
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10131
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10132
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10135
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10136
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10137
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10140
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10141
(Alexander Belchenko)
10143
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10145
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10148
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10149
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10150
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10151
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10152
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10153
(John Arbash Meinel)
10155
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10156
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10157
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10158
grained analysis of performance.
10159
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10161
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10162
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10164
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10165
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10166
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10167
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10168
file. (Robert Collins).
10170
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10171
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10172
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10174
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10175
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10178
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10179
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10181
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10182
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10183
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10184
the same way you would apply another branch.
10185
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10187
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10188
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10190
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10193
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10196
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10197
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10198
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10200
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10201
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10202
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10204
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10205
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10207
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10208
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10209
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10210
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10211
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10213
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10214
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10216
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10217
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10218
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10219
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10220
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10221
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10222
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10223
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10225
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10226
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10227
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10232
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10234
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10236
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10237
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10239
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10240
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10242
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10243
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10245
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10247
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10248
(John Arbash Meinel)
10250
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10251
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10253
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10254
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10257
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10258
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10260
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10261
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10263
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10264
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10265
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10266
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10268
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10269
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10271
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10273
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10274
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10276
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10278
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10280
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10281
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10283
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10284
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10286
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10287
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10288
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10290
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10291
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10292
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10294
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10295
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10297
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10298
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10300
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10301
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10303
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10304
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10306
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10307
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10309
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10310
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10311
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10313
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10315
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10316
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10321
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10322
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10323
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10325
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10326
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10328
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10329
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10330
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10332
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10333
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10335
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10336
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10339
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10340
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10341
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10343
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10344
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10345
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10347
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10348
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10349
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10351
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10352
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10353
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10355
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10356
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10357
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10359
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10360
instead. (Robert Collins)
10362
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
10367
:Released: 2006-05-17
10372
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
10377
:Released: 2006-05-16
10382
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
10383
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
10385
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
10386
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10388
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
10389
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
10390
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
10395
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
10397
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
10398
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
10400
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
10405
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
10406
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
10407
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
10408
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
10413
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
10414
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
10415
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
10420
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
10421
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
10422
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10427
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
10428
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

10435
Notes When Upgrading
10436
********************
10438
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10439
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10440
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10441
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10442
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10443
will keep the same format.
10445
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10446
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10447
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10448
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10449
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10451
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10452
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10453
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10454
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10455
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10456
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10457
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10459
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10460
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10461
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10462
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10463
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10465
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10466
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10467
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10474
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10475
convention. Paths now take the form::
10477
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10479
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10481
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10482
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10484
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10485
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10486
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10488
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10489
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10490
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10491
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10493
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10494
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10495
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10497
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10499
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10501
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10502
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10505
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10506
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10507
| xargs bzr re-sign
10509
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10511
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10512
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10513
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10516
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10518
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10520
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10523
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10524
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10526
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10527
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10528
Daniel Silverstone)
10530
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10531
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10534
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10536
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10538
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10539
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10541
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10542
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10543
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10544
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10545
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10546
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10548
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10550
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10551
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10554
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10555
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10557
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10558
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10560
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10562
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10563
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10564
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10565
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10566
specification by Martin Pool.
10567
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10569
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10572
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10573
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10575
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10576
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10577
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10579
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10581
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10582
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10588
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10589
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10591
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10593
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10595
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10598
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10599
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10600
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10601
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10606
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10607
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10608
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10609
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10611
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10612
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10613
tried. (Martin Pool)
10615
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10618
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10620
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10621
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10622
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10624
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10625
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10627
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10628
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10629
paths. (Robert Collins)
10631
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10632
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10633
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10635
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10636
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10637
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10639
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10640
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10641
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10643
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10646
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10649
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10651
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10653
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10654
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10655
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10658
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10659
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10661
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10662
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10663
check. (Robert Collins)
10665
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10666
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10671
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10672
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10674
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10675
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10676
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10677
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10679
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10680
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10681
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10682
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10683
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10685
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10686
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10687
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10689
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10691
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10692
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10697
:Released: 2006-01-09
10702
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10703
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10705
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10706
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10707
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10710
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10711
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10713
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10714
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10715
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10716
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10717
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10719
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10720
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10721
used. (Robert Collins)
10723
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10724
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10727
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10728
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10729
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10731
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10734
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10735
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10740
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10741
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10743
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10745
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10747
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10748
tree. (Robert Collins)
10750
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10751
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10752
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10755
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10758
* Tweaks to short log printing
10760
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10763
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10764
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10766
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10767
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10769
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10770
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10772
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10773
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10774
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10776
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10777
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10779
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10780
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10783
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10784
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10786
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10787
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10789
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10790
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10792
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10795
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10796
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10798
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10799
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10801
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10802
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10803
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10808
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10810
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10812
* Error when run with -OO
10814
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10817
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10819
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10821
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10822
ignored by diff and status
10824
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10825
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10827
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10829
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10831
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10832
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10834
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10835
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10837
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10840
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10841
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10843
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10845
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10846
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10848
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10851
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10852
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10854
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10859
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10860
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10862
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10864
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10866
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10868
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10869
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10870
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10872
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10874
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10875
(John Arbash Meinel)
10877
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10879
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10880
If adding a new test script please add that to
10881
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10883
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10884
imported. (Martin Pool)
10886
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10887
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10888
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10889
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10890
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10893
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10894
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10895
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10897
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10898
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10899
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10901
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10902
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10903
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10904
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10905
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10908
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10909
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10915
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10916
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10918
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10919
function. (Robert Collins)
10921
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10922
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10923
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10925
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10926
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10929
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10930
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10931
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10932
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10933
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10934
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10935
version. (Robert Collins)
10937
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10938
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10940
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10941
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10942
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10943
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10944
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10945
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10947
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10950
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10960
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10962
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10964
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10967
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10968
query method. (Robert Collins)
10970
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10973
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10976
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10979
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10980
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10981
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10982
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10984
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10985
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10986
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10987
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10989
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10990
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
10995
:Released: 2005-10-28
11000
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11003
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11007
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11008
a separator, not ':'.
11011
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11012
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11013
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11015
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11016
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11019
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11020
has been added that suppresses all output.
11022
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11025
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11026
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11028
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11029
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11031
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11032
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11034
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11035
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11036
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11037
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11039
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11041
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11042
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11044
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11045
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11047
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11048
output directory, if one was supplied.
11050
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11051
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11052
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11053
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11055
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11057
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11058
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11060
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11061
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11062
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11064
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11065
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11067
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11070
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11072
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11077
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11078
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11079
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11081
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11082
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11083
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11085
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11086
is given. (Martin Pool)
11088
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11089
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11090
file. (Robert Collins)
11092
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11098
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11099
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11100
representation. (Martin Pool).
11102
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11103
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11104
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11106
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11109
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11110
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11113
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11114
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11115
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11116
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11117
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11119
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11120
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11121
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11122
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11123
python path. (Robert Collins)
11125
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11126
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11127
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11128
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11130
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11131
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11133
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11134
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11137
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11138
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11139
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11141
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11142
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11143
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11145
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11146
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11148
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11149
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11150
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11153
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11154
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11155
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11156
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11159
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11162
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11163
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11166
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11167
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11168
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11170
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11171
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11172
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11174
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11175
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11176
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11178
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11179
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11181
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11182
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11183
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11184
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11185
caller. (Robert Collins)
11187
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11188
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11191
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11192
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11195
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11197
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11198
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11203
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11204
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11206
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11207
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11213
:Released: 2005-10-12
11218
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11219
allow directories to be listed.
11221
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11222
upgrading branch format.
11227
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11233
:Released: 2005-10-11
11238
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11239
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11240
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11241
high-latency connections.
11246
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11249
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11250
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11252
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11253
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11254
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11255
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11257
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11258
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11260
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11261
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11263
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11264
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11265
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11267
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11268
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11269
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11272
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11273
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11275
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11276
different partial views of history.
11278
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11279
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11284
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11285
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11286
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11288
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11289
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11292
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11293
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11295
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11298
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11299
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11301
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11302
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11303
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11304
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11306
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11308
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11309
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11312
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11313
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11315
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11316
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11317
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11323
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11324
for your viewing pleasure.
11326
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11327
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11329
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11330
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11331
handling of such circumstances.
11333
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11334
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11335
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11337
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11339
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11340
we call them revisions not patches.
11342
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11343
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11345
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11346
giving the revision *of that file*.
11348
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11349
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11350
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11355
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11356
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11358
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11359
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
11365
:Released: 2005-09-23
11370
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11372
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11375
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11377
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11379
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11380
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11385
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11386
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11388
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11389
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11390
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11391
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11394
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11395
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11400
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
11402
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
11403
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
11409
:Released: 2005-09-20
11415
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
11416
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
11417
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
11418
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
11421
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
11424
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
11425
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
11426
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
11427
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
11428
for the operating system is still tried.
11430
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
11431
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
11432
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
11438
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
11443
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
11445
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
11448
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
11455
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
11457
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
11463
:Released: 2005-09-02
11468
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
11469
help with intelligent shell completion.
11471
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
11477
* Much better merge support.
11479
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
11480
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11487
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
11488
mention revisions that are not present.
11490
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
11492
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
11494
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
11495
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
11501
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
11503
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
11504
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
11511
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
11512
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
11520
:Released: 2005-08-18
11525
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
11526
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
11528
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
11530
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11531
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
11533
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
11536
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
11538
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
11541
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
11542
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
11544
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
11545
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
11546
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
11552
* Faster working tree operations.
11558
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
11559
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
11560
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11561
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11563
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11564
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11565
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11566
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11567
standard plugins directory.
11569
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11570
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11571
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11572
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11574
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11575
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11577
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11580
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11581
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11582
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11584
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11585
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11587
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11588
line options must come before the command name because they
11589
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11590
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11593
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11595
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11596
is available with ``--short``.
11602
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11608
:Released: 2005-06-15
11613
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11614
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11616
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11617
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11618
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11619
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11621
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11622
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11623
with the ``--forward`` option.
11625
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11626
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
11633
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
11634
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
11636
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
11638
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11639
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
11641
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
11643
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
11644
either read or write mode.
11646
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
11648
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
11649
affected that file.
11651
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
11653
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
11654
suggested by LarstiQ.
11656
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
11657
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
11659
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
11662
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
11663
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
11665
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
11666
haven't changed since the previous time.
11668
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
11669
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11671
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11673
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11675
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11676
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11678
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11679
options through to an external GNU diff.
11681
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11684
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
11691
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
11692
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
11694
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
11701
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11702
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11705
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11706
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11708
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11709
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11711
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11712
under a different version.
11714
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
11720
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
11722
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
11723
Scott James Remnant.
11725
* Better help messages for many commands.
11727
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11728
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11730
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11731
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11733
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
11735
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
11737
* New AtomicFile class.
11739
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
11745
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
11746
2.4 is now only recommended.
11752
:Released: 2005-04-22
11757
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
11758
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
11760
* More default ignore patterns.
11762
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
11763
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
11765
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
11767
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
11770
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
11776
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
11777
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11778
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11779
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11780
there are DNS problems.
11782
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
11788
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
11790
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
11792
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
11793
trailing newlines properly.
11799
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
11802
* More tests in test.sh.
11804
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
11805
directory and delete it when done.
11807
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
11813
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
11816
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
11823
:Released: 2005-04-06
11828
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
11831
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
11833
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
11836
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
11839
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
11841
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
11846
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
11847
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
11853
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
11854
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
11860
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
11865
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2319
----------------------
2321
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2325
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2326
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2328
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2329
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2330
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2331
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2332
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2333
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2334
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2335
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2336
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2337
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2338
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2339
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2344
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2345
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2346
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2347
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2348
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2349
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2351
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2352
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2353
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2356
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2358
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2359
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2361
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2362
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2365
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2366
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2367
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2371
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2372
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2374
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2375
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2377
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2378
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2379
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2380
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2382
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2385
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2386
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2387
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2388
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2390
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2391
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2393
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2394
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2396
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2397
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2399
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2400
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2404
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2405
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2407
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2408
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2410
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2411
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2413
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2414
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2416
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2417
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2421
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2423
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2428
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2429
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2430
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2432
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2433
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2435
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2436
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2438
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2439
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2440
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2441
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2443
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2444
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2445
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2446
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2447
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2449
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2450
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2452
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2454
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2456
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2457
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2459
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2462
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2465
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2466
contains a symbolic link.
2467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2469
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2470
(James Westby, #140615)
2472
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2473
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2476
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2477
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2478
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2480
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2482
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2485
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2489
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2490
directory to detect leaking tests.
2491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2493
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2494
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2495
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2497
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2500
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2501
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2503
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2508
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2509
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2511
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2512
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2513
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2515
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2516
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2517
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2519
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2520
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2522
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2523
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2525
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2526
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2529
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2530
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2532
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2533
class that needs it.
2536
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2537
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2539
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2540
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2541
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2543
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2544
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2545
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2548
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2549
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2550
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2551
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2556
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2557
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2558
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2560
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2561
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2562
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2563
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2565
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2566
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2569
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2570
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2571
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2573
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2574
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2575
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2577
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2578
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2580
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2581
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2582
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2584
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2585
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2587
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2588
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2589
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2591
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2592
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2593
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2595
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2596
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2597
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2598
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2600
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2601
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2602
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2603
returned. (Robert Collins)
2605
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2606
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2608
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2609
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2610
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2611
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2614
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2615
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2619
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2620
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2622
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2623
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2624
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2625
makes this behavior available to other users.
2628
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2629
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2637
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2638
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2639
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2641
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2643
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2644
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2645
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2646
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2648
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2649
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2653
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2654
----------------------
2656
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2657
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2660
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2661
----------------------
2665
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2666
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2667
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2668
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2671
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2672
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2673
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2678
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2679
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2680
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2683
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2684
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2685
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2687
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2688
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2689
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2691
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2692
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2694
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2695
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2696
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2697
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2698
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2699
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2700
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2701
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2702
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2703
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2705
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2706
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2708
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2709
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2710
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2714
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2715
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2717
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2718
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2719
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2721
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2722
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2724
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2725
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2727
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2730
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2731
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2733
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2734
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2736
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2737
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2739
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2740
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2742
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2744
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2747
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2748
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2749
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2750
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2752
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2754
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2755
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2758
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2759
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2761
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2762
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2765
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2766
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2768
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2769
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2771
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2772
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2773
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2774
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2775
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2776
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2777
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2779
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2780
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2782
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2783
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2785
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2786
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2788
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2791
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2795
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2796
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2798
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2799
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2800
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2802
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2803
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2804
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2808
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2809
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2811
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2814
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2817
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2818
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2820
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2822
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2823
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2825
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2826
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2828
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2829
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2830
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2831
space). (Robert Collins)
2833
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2834
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2837
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2838
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2840
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2841
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2843
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2844
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2845
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2846
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2848
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2849
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2850
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2853
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2856
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2857
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2858
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2860
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2861
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2862
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2863
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2864
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2868
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2869
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2871
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2872
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2873
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2874
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2875
affected. (Robert Collins)
2877
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2878
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2879
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2882
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2883
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2887
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2888
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2890
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2891
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2893
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2894
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2896
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2899
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2900
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2904
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2905
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2906
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2907
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2909
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2910
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2912
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2913
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2914
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2915
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2917
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2918
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2919
present. (Robert Collins)
2921
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2922
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2923
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2924
API. (Robert Collins)
2926
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2927
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2930
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2931
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2933
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2934
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2935
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2936
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2937
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2938
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2940
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2941
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2942
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2944
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2945
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2946
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2947
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2950
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2953
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2954
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2955
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2956
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2957
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2958
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2959
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2961
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2962
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2963
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2964
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2966
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2967
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2968
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2969
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2970
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2971
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2973
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2974
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2975
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2977
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2978
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2986
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2987
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2988
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2989
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2990
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2991
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2992
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2993
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2998
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2999
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3000
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3003
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3004
----------------------
3008
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3009
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3010
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3011
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3012
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3014
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3015
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3017
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3021
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3022
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3025
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3026
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3029
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3032
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3033
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3035
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3036
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3038
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3039
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3041
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3042
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3044
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3045
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3047
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3052
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3053
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3055
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3056
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3058
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3059
the repository (Robert Collins)
3061
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3062
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3063
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3064
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3065
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3067
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3068
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3070
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3071
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3072
(John Arbash Meinel)
3074
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3075
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3076
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3078
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3079
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3080
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3081
(John Arbash Meinel)
3083
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3084
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3087
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3088
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3090
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3093
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3095
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3097
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3098
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3100
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3101
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3104
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3105
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3106
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3107
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3109
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3110
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3111
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3113
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3114
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3115
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3117
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3118
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3120
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3121
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3122
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3123
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3124
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3125
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3128
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3129
(Alexander Belchenko)
3131
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3132
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3134
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3135
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3137
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3139
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3140
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3144
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3145
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3146
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3147
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3149
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3151
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3154
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3155
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3156
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3157
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3158
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3159
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3163
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3164
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3165
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3166
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3168
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3169
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3170
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3171
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3172
tests have been refactored too.
3175
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3176
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3177
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3181
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3182
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3183
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3185
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3186
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3187
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3188
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3189
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3190
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3191
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3193
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3194
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3195
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3196
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3197
(John Arbash Meinel)
3199
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3200
functionality for testing.
3202
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3204
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3205
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3207
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3209
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3212
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3213
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3215
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3216
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3217
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3219
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3222
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3223
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3225
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3226
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3227
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3228
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3230
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3231
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3233
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3234
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3235
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3237
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3240
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3241
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3242
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3243
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3244
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3245
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3247
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3248
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3249
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3250
many files. (Robert Collins)
3252
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3253
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3254
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3255
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3259
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3260
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3261
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3263
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3264
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3266
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3267
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3268
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3272
--------------------
3276
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3279
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3280
-----------------------
3284
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3285
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3287
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3288
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3289
(James Westby, #122656)
3291
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3292
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3294
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3295
authentication header.
3296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3298
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3300
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3301
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3303
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3305
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3308
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3309
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3312
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3313
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3314
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3316
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3317
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3319
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3322
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3323
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3325
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3327
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3331
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3332
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3333
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3334
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3335
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3336
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3338
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3339
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3340
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3342
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3345
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3346
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3348
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3349
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3351
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3352
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3354
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3355
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3356
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3357
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3358
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3360
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3361
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3363
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3364
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3365
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3367
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3368
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3370
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3372
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3373
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3376
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3379
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3382
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3383
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3385
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3386
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3388
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3389
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3391
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3393
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3394
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3396
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3401
* Testing cleanups -
3402
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3403
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3404
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3405
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3406
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3407
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3408
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3409
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3410
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3411
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3412
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3413
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3414
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3415
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3416
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3417
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3418
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3421
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3423
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3424
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3425
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3427
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3428
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3430
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3431
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3433
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3435
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3436
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3437
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3438
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3439
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3440
same location. (Robert Collins)
3444
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3446
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3448
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3450
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3453
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3456
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3457
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3458
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3460
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3462
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3463
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3464
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3466
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3467
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3469
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3470
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3471
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3473
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3474
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3475
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3477
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3478
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3479
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3481
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3482
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3485
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3486
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3488
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3489
(Alexander Belchenko)
3493
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3494
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3495
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3496
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3498
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3499
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3500
testing. (Robert Collins)
3502
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3503
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3505
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3506
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3507
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3508
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3509
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3510
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3511
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3513
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3514
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3515
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3516
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3518
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3519
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3521
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3522
avoid useless cloning.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3527
--------------------
3531
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3532
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3534
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3543
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3544
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3545
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3546
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3547
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3548
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3549
and unlock() like so::
3551
work_tree.lock_read()
3553
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3558
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3559
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3561
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3562
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3563
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3565
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3566
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3567
too. (Robert Collins)
3571
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3572
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3575
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3576
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3578
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3579
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3581
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3582
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3583
understanding what changes have occurred
3584
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3586
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3587
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3588
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3590
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3591
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3592
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3593
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3595
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3600
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3601
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3602
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3603
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3604
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3606
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3607
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3608
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3610
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3613
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3617
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3618
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3620
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3621
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3623
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3624
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3626
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3627
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3629
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3630
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3632
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3633
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3634
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3637
--------------------
3641
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3642
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3643
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3644
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3645
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3647
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3648
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3649
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3651
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3652
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3656
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3657
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3658
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3660
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3661
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3662
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3663
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3665
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3666
-----------------------
3670
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3671
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3672
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3673
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3675
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3676
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3677
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3679
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3680
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3682
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3683
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3685
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3686
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3688
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3689
-----------------------
3691
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3693
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3694
it could be recovered again.
3695
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3696
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3697
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3699
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3701
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3702
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3706
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3707
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3709
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3710
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3711
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3712
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3714
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3715
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3717
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3718
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3719
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3721
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3722
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3723
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3725
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3726
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3727
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3729
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3730
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3733
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3736
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3737
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3738
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3739
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3741
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3744
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3745
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3746
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3749
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3750
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3752
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3753
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3755
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3756
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3757
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3758
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3761
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3762
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3764
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3765
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3767
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3768
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3769
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3771
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3772
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3773
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3775
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3776
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3777
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3779
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3780
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3781
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3782
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3784
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3785
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3786
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3787
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3789
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3790
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3791
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3792
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3793
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3794
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3795
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3796
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3802
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3803
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3805
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3806
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3807
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3808
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3809
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3811
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3812
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3814
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3815
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3817
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3818
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3820
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3821
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3823
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3824
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3825
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3828
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3829
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3830
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3831
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3832
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3835
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3836
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3837
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3839
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3840
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3843
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3844
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3845
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3848
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3849
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3850
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3851
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3852
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3854
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3855
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3856
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3857
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3859
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3860
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3862
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3863
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3864
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3865
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3866
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3867
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3869
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3870
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3872
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3873
help. (Robert Collins)
3875
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3876
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3878
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3879
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3880
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3881
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3882
(John Arbash Meinel)
3884
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3885
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3886
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3887
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3888
useful. (Robert Collins)
3890
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3895
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3896
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3898
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3899
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3901
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3902
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3903
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3905
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3908
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3909
the file, and does it faster.
3910
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3912
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3913
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3914
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3916
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3917
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3918
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3919
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3921
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3922
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3923
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3924
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3926
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3927
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3929
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3930
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3931
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3932
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3935
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3937
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3938
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3940
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3941
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3943
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3944
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3945
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3946
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3950
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3955
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3956
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3957
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3959
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3960
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3962
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3963
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3964
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3965
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3966
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3967
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3968
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3969
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3971
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3972
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3973
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3975
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3976
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3977
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3978
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3979
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3981
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3983
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3984
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3985
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3987
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3988
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3996
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3999
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4000
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4003
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4004
-----------------------
4008
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4009
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4014
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4015
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4016
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4017
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4018
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4019
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4020
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4021
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4026
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4027
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4028
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4030
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4031
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4034
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4035
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4036
(John Arbash Meinel)
4038
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4039
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4040
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4041
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4042
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4046
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4049
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4050
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4052
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4053
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4055
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4056
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4057
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4059
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4060
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4062
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4063
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4064
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4065
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4066
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4068
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4069
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4070
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4072
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4075
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4076
-----------------------
4078
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4080
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4081
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4082
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4086
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4087
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4089
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4090
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4092
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4094
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4095
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4097
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4098
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4102
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4107
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4108
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4109
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4110
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4112
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4113
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4115
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4116
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4118
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4121
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4122
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4125
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4126
-----------------------
4130
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4131
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4132
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4133
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4134
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4135
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4137
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4138
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4139
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4140
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4141
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4142
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4144
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4146
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4147
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4148
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4149
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4150
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4151
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4152
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4153
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4157
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4158
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4160
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4161
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4162
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4163
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4165
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4166
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4167
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4168
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4169
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4171
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4174
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4177
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4180
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4181
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4184
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4187
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4188
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4190
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4191
directory. (Martin Pool)
4193
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4194
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4195
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4196
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4198
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4199
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4200
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4201
in docs/configuration.txt.
4203
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4204
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4207
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4208
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4209
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4210
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4211
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4212
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4214
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4215
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4217
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4218
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4220
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4225
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4226
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4227
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4228
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4229
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4230
(John Arbash Meinel)
4232
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4233
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4236
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4237
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4238
(John Arbash Meinel)
4240
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4241
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4242
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4243
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4244
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4245
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4247
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4248
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4249
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4251
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4252
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4253
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4254
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4256
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4258
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4259
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4260
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4261
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4263
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4264
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4265
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4266
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4268
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4269
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4270
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4272
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4273
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4274
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4276
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4277
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4278
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4279
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4281
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4282
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4283
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4285
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4286
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4287
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4289
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4290
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4291
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4292
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4293
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4294
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4295
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4296
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4297
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4298
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4299
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4303
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4304
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4305
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4307
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4310
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4311
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4312
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4313
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4315
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4316
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4319
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4320
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4322
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4324
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4325
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4326
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4328
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4329
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4331
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4334
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4337
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4338
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4340
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4342
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4343
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4347
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4348
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4352
--------------------
4356
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4360
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4361
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4362
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4364
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4365
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4366
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4369
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4370
-----------------------
4374
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4375
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4376
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4377
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4379
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4382
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4383
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4384
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4386
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4387
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4389
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4392
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4393
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4394
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4395
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4396
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4397
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4399
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4400
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4401
should enable you to do::
4403
[/home/user/project]
4404
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4405
push_location:policy = appendpath
4407
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4408
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4411
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4412
for each file. For example::
4414
$ bzr status --short
4420
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4421
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4423
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4425
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4426
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4428
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4432
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4433
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4434
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4435
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4437
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4438
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4439
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4441
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4443
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4444
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4445
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4446
(Alexander Belchenko)
4448
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4451
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4452
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4454
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4458
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4459
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4461
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4462
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4463
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4464
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4465
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4467
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4468
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4470
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4471
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4473
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4475
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4477
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4478
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4479
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4480
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4481
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4483
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4484
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4485
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4486
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4488
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4489
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4491
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4492
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4494
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4495
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4497
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4498
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
4502
--------------------
4504
No changes from 0.13rc1
4506
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4507
-----------------------
4511
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4513
(Daniel Silverstone)
4515
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4516
operations are substantially faster.
4517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4519
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4520
tree from some other url. For example:
4521
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4522
(Daniel Silverstone)
4524
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4525
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4526
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4527
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4529
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4532
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4533
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4534
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4535
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4536
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4537
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4541
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4542
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4545
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4546
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4547
(John Arbash Meinel)
4549
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4550
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4551
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4552
(John Arbash Meinel)
4554
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4555
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4557
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4558
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4560
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4561
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4566
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4567
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4568
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4570
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4571
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4572
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4573
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4575
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4577
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4578
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4580
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4581
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4582
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4585
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4586
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4587
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4589
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4590
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4591
them as full references rather than integers.
4592
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4594
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4595
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4597
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4599
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4600
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4602
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4603
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4605
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4606
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4607
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4608
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4610
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4611
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4612
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4614
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4615
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4617
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4618
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4619
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4620
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4621
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4625
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4626
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4629
--------------------
4633
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4634
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4635
(John Arbash Meinel)
4637
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4638
-----------------------
4642
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4643
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4644
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4645
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4647
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4648
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4650
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4652
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4653
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4654
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4655
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4657
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4658
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4659
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4660
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4661
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4663
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4665
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4666
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4670
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4671
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4672
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4674
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4675
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4676
(John Arbash Meinel)
4678
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4679
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4680
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4682
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4683
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4686
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4687
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4688
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4690
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4691
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4692
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4693
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4694
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4695
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4697
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4698
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4699
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4702
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4703
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4707
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4708
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4709
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4712
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4713
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4715
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4716
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4717
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4719
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4720
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4722
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4723
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4724
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4725
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4727
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4728
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4730
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4731
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4732
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4734
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4735
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4737
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4739
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4740
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4745
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4746
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4747
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4748
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4750
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4751
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4752
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4755
--------------------
4757
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4759
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4760
-----------------------
4764
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4766
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4769
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4770
-----------------------
4774
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4775
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4776
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4777
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4778
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4779
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4780
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4782
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4783
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4784
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4786
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4788
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4789
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4791
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4792
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4793
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4796
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4797
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4798
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4799
(John Arbash Meinel)
4801
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4802
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4803
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4804
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4807
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4808
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4809
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4810
(John Arbash Meinel)
4814
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4815
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4817
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4819
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4820
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4821
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4823
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4824
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4826
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4827
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4829
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4832
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4833
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4835
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4837
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4838
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4840
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4841
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4843
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4844
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4846
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4847
(John Arbash Meinel)
4849
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4850
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4851
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4853
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4854
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4856
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4857
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4858
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4859
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4861
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4862
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4863
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4865
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4866
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4870
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4874
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4875
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4876
(John Arbash Meinel)
4878
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4879
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4880
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4881
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4883
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4886
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4887
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4888
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4890
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4891
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4893
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4894
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4895
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4897
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4898
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4899
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4900
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4901
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4902
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4903
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4904
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4905
caller to repeat their request.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel)
4908
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4909
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4911
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4912
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4914
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4915
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4916
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4917
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4918
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4919
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4920
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4922
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4923
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4924
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4925
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4926
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4927
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4928
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4929
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4932
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4933
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4934
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4936
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4937
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4939
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4940
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4942
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4943
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4947
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4948
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4950
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4951
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4952
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4954
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4955
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4956
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4959
--------------------
4962
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4963
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4965
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4966
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4967
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4968
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4969
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4971
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4972
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4973
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4975
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4976
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4978
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4979
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4980
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4984
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4986
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4987
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4988
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4990
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4992
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4994
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4995
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4996
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4997
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4999
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5000
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5001
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5002
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5003
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5005
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5006
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5008
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5009
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5011
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5012
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5014
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5015
in handling of revision properties.
5016
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5018
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5019
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5023
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5024
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5025
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5026
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5027
(John Arbash Meinel)
5029
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5030
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5031
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5033
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5034
---------------------
5038
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5039
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5040
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5041
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5042
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5043
a more conservative list than the old default.
5044
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5045
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5046
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5047
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5049
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5050
to more locations than just branch locations.
5055
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5056
revno:N:branch. For example,
5057
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5058
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5060
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5061
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5062
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5063
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5064
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5065
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5066
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5067
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5070
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5071
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5072
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5075
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5076
(Alexander Belchenko)
5078
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5080
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5083
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5084
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5085
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5086
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5087
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5088
(John Arbash Meinel)
5090
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5091
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5092
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5093
grained analysis of performance.
5094
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5096
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5097
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5099
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5100
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5101
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5102
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5103
file. (Robert Collins).
5105
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5106
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5107
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5109
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5110
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5113
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5114
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5116
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5117
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5118
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5119
the same way you would apply another branch.
5120
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5122
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5123
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5125
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5128
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5131
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5132
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5133
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5135
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5136
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5137
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5139
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5140
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5142
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5143
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5144
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5145
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5146
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5148
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5149
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5151
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5152
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5153
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5154
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5155
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5156
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5157
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5158
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5160
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5161
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5162
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5166
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5168
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5170
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5171
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5173
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5174
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5176
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5177
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5179
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5181
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5182
(John Arbash Meinel)
5184
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5185
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5187
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5188
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5191
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5192
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5194
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5195
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5197
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5198
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5199
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5200
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5202
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5203
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5205
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5207
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5208
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5210
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5212
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5214
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5215
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5217
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5218
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5220
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5221
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5222
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5224
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5225
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5226
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5228
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5229
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5231
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5232
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5234
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5235
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5237
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5238
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5240
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5241
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5243
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5244
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5245
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5247
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5249
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5250
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5254
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5255
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5256
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5258
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5259
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5261
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5262
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5263
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5265
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5266
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5268
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5269
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5272
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5273
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5274
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5276
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5277
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5278
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5280
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5281
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5282
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5284
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5285
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5286
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5288
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5289
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5290
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5292
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5293
instead. (Robert Collins)
5295
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5297
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5298
---------------------
5302
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5304
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5305
---------------------
5309
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5310
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5312
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5313
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5315
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5316
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5317
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5321
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5323
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5324
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5326
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5330
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5331
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5332
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5333
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5337
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5338
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5339
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5343
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5344
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5345
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5349
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5350
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5355
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5357
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5358
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5359
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5360
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5361
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5362
will keep the same format.
5364
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5365
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5366
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5367
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5368
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5370
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5371
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5372
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5373
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5374
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5375
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5376
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5378
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5379
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5380
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5381
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5382
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5384
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5385
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5386
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5392
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5393
convention. Paths now take the form::
5395
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5397
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5399
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5400
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5402
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5403
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5404
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5406
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5407
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5408
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5409
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5411
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5412
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5413
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5415
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5417
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5419
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5420
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5423
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5424
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5427
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5429
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5430
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5431
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5434
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5436
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5438
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5441
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5442
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5444
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5445
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5448
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5449
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5452
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5454
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5456
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5457
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5459
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5460
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5461
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5462
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5463
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5464
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5466
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5468
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5469
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5472
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5473
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5475
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5476
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5478
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5480
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5481
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5482
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5483
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5484
specification by Martin Pool.
5485
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5487
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5490
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5491
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5493
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5494
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5495
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5497
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5499
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5500
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5505
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5506
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5508
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5510
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5512
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5515
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5516
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5517
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5518
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5522
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5523
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5524
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5525
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5527
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5528
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5529
tried. (Martin Pool)
5531
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5534
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5536
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5537
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5538
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5540
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5541
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5543
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5544
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5545
paths. (Robert Collins)
5547
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5548
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5549
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5551
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5552
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5553
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5555
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5556
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5557
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5559
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5562
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5565
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5567
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5569
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5570
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5571
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5574
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5575
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5577
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5578
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5579
check. (Robert Collins)
5581
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5582
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5586
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5587
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5589
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5590
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5591
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5592
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5594
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5595
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5596
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5597
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5598
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5600
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5601
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5602
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5604
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5606
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5607
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5614
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5615
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5617
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5618
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5619
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5622
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5623
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5625
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5626
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5627
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5628
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5629
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5631
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5632
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5633
used. (Robert Collins)
5635
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5636
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5639
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5640
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5641
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5643
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5646
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5647
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5651
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5652
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5654
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5656
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5658
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5659
tree. (Robert Collins)
5661
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5662
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5663
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5666
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5669
* Tweaks to short log printing
5671
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5674
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5675
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5677
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5678
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5680
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5681
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5683
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5684
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5685
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5687
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5688
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5690
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5691
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5694
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5695
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5697
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5698
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5700
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5701
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5703
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5706
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5707
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5709
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5710
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5712
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5713
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5714
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5718
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5720
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5722
* Error when run with -OO
5724
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5727
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5729
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5731
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5732
ignored by diff and status
5734
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5735
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5737
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5739
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5741
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5742
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5744
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5745
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5747
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5750
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5751
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5753
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5755
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5756
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5758
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5761
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5762
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5764
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5768
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5769
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5771
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5773
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5775
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5777
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5778
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5779
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5781
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5783
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5784
(John Arbash Meinel)
5786
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5788
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5789
If adding a new test script please add that to
5790
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5792
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5793
imported. (Martin Pool)
5795
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5796
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5797
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5798
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5799
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5802
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5803
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5804
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5806
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5807
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5808
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5810
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5811
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5812
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5813
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5814
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5817
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5818
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5823
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5824
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5826
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5827
function. (Robert Collins)
5829
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5830
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5831
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5833
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5834
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5837
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5838
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5839
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5840
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5841
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5842
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5843
version. (Robert Collins)
5845
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5846
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5848
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5849
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5850
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5851
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5852
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5853
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5855
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5858
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5868
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5870
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5872
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5875
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5876
query method. (Robert Collins)
5878
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5881
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5884
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5887
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5888
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5889
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5890
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5892
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5893
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5894
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5895
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5897
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5898
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5905
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5908
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5912
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5913
a separator, not ':'.
5916
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5917
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5918
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5920
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5921
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5924
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5925
has been added that suppresses all output.
5927
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5930
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5931
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5933
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5934
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5936
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5937
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5939
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5940
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5941
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5942
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5944
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5946
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5947
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5949
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5950
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5952
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5953
output directory, if one was supplied.
5955
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5956
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5957
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5958
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5960
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5962
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5963
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5965
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5966
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5967
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5969
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5970
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5972
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5975
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5977
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5981
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5982
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5983
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5985
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5986
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5987
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5989
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5990
is given. (Martin Pool)
5992
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5993
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5994
file. (Robert Collins)
5996
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6001
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6002
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6003
representation. (Martin Pool).
6005
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6006
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6007
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6009
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6012
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6013
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6016
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6017
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6018
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6019
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6020
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6022
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6023
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6024
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6025
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6026
python path. (Robert Collins)
6028
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6029
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6030
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6031
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6033
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6034
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6036
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6037
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6040
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6041
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6042
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6044
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6045
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6046
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6048
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6049
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6051
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6052
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6053
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6056
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6057
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6058
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6059
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6062
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6065
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6066
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6069
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6070
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6071
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6073
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6074
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6075
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6077
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6078
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6079
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6081
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6082
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6084
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6085
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6086
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6087
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6088
caller. (Robert Collins)
6090
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6091
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6094
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6095
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6098
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6100
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6101
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6105
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6106
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6108
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6109
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6112
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6113
--------------------
6117
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6118
allow directories to be listed.
6120
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6121
upgrading branch format.
6125
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6133
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6134
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6135
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6136
high-latency connections.
6140
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6143
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6144
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6146
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6147
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6148
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6149
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6151
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6152
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6154
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6155
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6157
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6158
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6159
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6161
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6162
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6163
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6166
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6167
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6169
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6170
different partial views of history.
6172
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6173
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6177
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6178
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6179
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6181
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6182
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6185
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6186
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6188
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6191
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6192
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6194
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6195
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6196
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6197
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6199
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6201
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6202
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6205
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6206
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6208
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6209
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6210
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6215
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6216
for your viewing pleasure.
6218
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6219
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6221
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6222
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6223
handling of such circumstances.
6225
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6226
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6227
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6229
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6231
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6232
we call them revisions not patches.
6234
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6235
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6237
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6238
giving the revision *of that file*.
6240
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6241
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6242
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6246
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6247
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6249
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6250
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6253
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6254
--------------------
6258
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6260
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6263
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6265
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6267
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6268
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6272
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6273
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6275
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6276
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6277
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6278
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6281
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6282
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6286
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6288
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6289
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6292
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6293
--------------------
6297
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6298
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6299
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6300
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6303
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6306
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6307
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6308
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6309
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6310
for the operating system is still tried.
6312
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6313
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6314
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6319
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6323
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6325
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6328
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6334
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6336
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6339
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6340
--------------------
6344
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6345
help with intelligent shell completion.
6347
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6352
* Much better merge support.
6354
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6355
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6361
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6362
mention revisions that are not present.
6364
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6366
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6368
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6369
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6374
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6376
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6377
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6383
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6384
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6389
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6390
--------------------
6394
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6395
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6397
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6399
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6400
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6402
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6405
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6407
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6410
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6411
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6413
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6414
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6415
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6420
* Faster working tree operations.
6425
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6426
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6427
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6428
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6430
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6431
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6432
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6433
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6434
standard plugins directory.
6436
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6437
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6438
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6439
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6441
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6442
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6444
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6447
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6448
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6449
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6451
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6452
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6454
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6455
line options must come before the command name because they
6456
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6457
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6460
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6462
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6463
is available with ``--short``.
6468
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6471
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6472
---------------------
6476
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6477
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6479
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6480
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6481
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6482
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6484
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6485
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6486
with the ``--forward`` option.
6488
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6489
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6495
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6496
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6498
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6500
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6501
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6503
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6505
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6506
either read or write mode.
6508
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6510
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6513
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6515
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6516
suggested by LarstiQ.
6518
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6519
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6521
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6524
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6525
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6527
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6528
haven't changed since the previous time.
6530
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6531
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6533
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6535
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6537
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6538
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6540
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6541
options through to an external GNU diff.
6543
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6546
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6552
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6553
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6555
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6561
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6562
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6565
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6566
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6568
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6569
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6571
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6572
under a different version.
6574
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6579
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6581
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6582
Scott James Remnant.
6584
* Better help messages for many commands.
6586
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6587
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6589
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6590
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6592
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6594
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6596
* New AtomicFile class.
6598
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6603
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6604
2.4 is now only recommended.
6607
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6608
---------------------
6612
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6613
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6615
* More default ignore patterns.
6617
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6618
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6620
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6622
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6625
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6630
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6631
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6632
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6633
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6634
there are DNS problems.
6636
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6641
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6643
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6645
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6646
trailing newlines properly.
6651
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6654
* More tests in test.sh.
6656
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6657
directory and delete it when done.
6659
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6664
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6667
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6671
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6672
---------------------
6676

6679
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6681
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6684
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6687
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6689
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6693
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6694
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6699
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6700
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6705
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6709
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
