Merge bzr.dev 4187, and revert the change to fix refcycle issues.
I apparently didn't run the smart fetch tests. Which show that we access inv+chk pages
as a fulltext, and then insert the stream, which expects to get the block as a compressed
block. :(.
Need to rethink how to do it, possibly with weakrefs.
This also brings in CommitBuilder.record_iter_changes() and the updates to btree_index
and backing indices.

--------------
11
12
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
13
14
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
15
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
16
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
17
18
NEW FEATURES:
19
20
* shelve can now apply changes without storing anything on the shelf, via
21
the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
22
23
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
24
(Aaron bentley)
25
26
IMPROVEMENTS:
27
28
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
29
the data when the target repository does not need topological
30
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
31
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
32
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
33
34
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
35
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
36
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
37
38
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
39
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
40
41
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
42
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
43
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
44
45
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
46
(Jonathan Lange)
47
48
BUG FIXES:
49
50
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
51
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
52
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
53
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
54
55
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
56
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
57
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
58
59
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
60
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
61
62
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
63
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
64
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
65
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
66
67
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
68
69
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
70
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
71
(Andrea Bolognani)
72
73
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
74
(James Westby, #341558)
75
76
DOCUMENTATION:
77
78
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
79
80
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
81
(James Westby, #336998)
82
83
API CHANGES:
84
85
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
86
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
87
Meinel, Robert Collins)
88
89
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
90
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
91
(Jean-Francois Roy)
92
93
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
94
(Martin Pool)
95
96
TESTING:
97
98
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
99
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
100
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
101
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
102
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
103
104
INTERNALS:
105
106
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
107
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
108
109
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
110
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
111
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
112
113
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
114
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
115
(Andrew Bennetts)
116
117
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
118
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
119
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
120

22
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
23
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
26
(Aaron bentley)
27
28
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
29
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
30
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
31
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
32
(Ian Clatworthy)
33
34
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
35
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
36
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
37
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
38
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
39
40
Improvements
41
************
42
43
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
44
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
45
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
46
47
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
48
the data when the target repository does not need topological
49
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
50
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
51
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
52
53
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
54
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
55
(Ian Clatworthy)
56
57
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
58
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
59
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
60
61
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
62
(Ian Clatworthy)
63
64
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
65
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
66
67
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
68
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
69

Bug Fixes
75
*********
76
77
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
78
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
79
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
80
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
81
82
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
83
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
84
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
85
86
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
87
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
88
89
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
90
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in WorkingTree5 formats (e.g. ``development-wt5``)
91
when no view is defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
92
93
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
94
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
95
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
96
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
97
98
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
99
100
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #345593)
102
103
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
104
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
105
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
106
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
107
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
108
109
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
110
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
111
(Andrea Bolognani)
112
113
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.

Documentation
117
*************
118
119
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
120
121
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
122
(James Westby, #336998)
123
124
API Changes
125
***********
126
127
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
128
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
129
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
130
131
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
132
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
133
Meinel, Robert Collins)
134
135
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
136
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
137
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
138
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
139
(Ian Clatworthy)
140
141
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
142
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
143
(Jean-Francois Roy)
144
145
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
146
(Martin Pool)
147
148
Testing
149
*******
150
151
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
152
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
153
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
154
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
155
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
156
157
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
159
160
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
161
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
162
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
163
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
164
(Vincent Ladeuil)
165
166
Internals
167
*********
168
169
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
170
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
171
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
172
173
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
174
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
175
(Robert Collins)
176
177
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
178
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
179
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
180
181
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
182
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
183
184
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
185
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
186
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
187
188
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
189
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
190
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
191
192
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
193
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
194
(Andrew Bennetts)
195
196
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
197
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
198
dependency. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
201
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
202
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

211
:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
212
125
213
This release includes bug fixes and a few performance and feature improvements.
126
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format gnu-changelog``.
127
Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight Checkouts
128
and Stacked Branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
129
130
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
131
132
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
133
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
134
command may need to be adjusted.
135
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
136
137
NEW FEATURES:
138
139
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
140
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
141
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
142
143
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
144
(Martin Pool)
145
146
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
147
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
148
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
149
(Ian Clatworthy)
150
151
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
152
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
153
154
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
155
(John Arbash Meinel)
156
157
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
158
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
159
160
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
161
162
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
163
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
164
(Jonathan Lange)
165
166
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
167
(Jonathan Lange)
168
169
IMPROVEMENTS:
170
171
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
172
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
173
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
174
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
175
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
176
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
177
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
178
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
179
(Robert Collins)
180
181
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
182
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
183
184
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
185
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
186
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
187
188
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
189
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
190
191
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
192
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
193
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
194
(Ian Clatworthy)
195
196
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
197
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
198
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
199
200
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
201
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
202
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
203
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
204
205
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
206
(Jelmer Vernooij)
207
208
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
209
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
210
211
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
212
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
213
214
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
215
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
216
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
217
218
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
219
220
BUG FIXES:
221
222
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
223
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
224
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
225
226
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
227
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
229
230
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
231
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
232
233
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
234
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
235
Vernooij, #315048)
236
237
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
238
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
239
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
240
241
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
242
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
243
244
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
245
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
246
247
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
248
(James Westby, #174539)
249
250
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
251
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
252
253
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
254
error branching from old repositories.
255
(Martin Pool, #321695)
256
257
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
258
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
259
260
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
261
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
262
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
263
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
264
265
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
266
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
267
268
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
269
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)

271
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
272
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
273
274
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
275
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
276
when needed.
277
(Vincent Ladeuil)
278
279
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
280
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
281

* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
283
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
284
285
DOCUMENTATION:
286
287
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
288
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
289
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
290
(Ian Clatworthy)
291
292
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
293
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
294
295
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API CHANGES:
299
300
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
301
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
302
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
303
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
304
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
305
306
``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
307
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
308
309
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
310
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
311
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
312
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
313
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
314
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
315
316
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
317
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
318
319
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
320
"author" argument being deprecated.
321
322
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
323
324
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
325
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
326
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
327
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
330
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
331
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
333
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
334
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
335
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
336
337
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
338
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
339
340
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
341
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
342
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
343
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
344
345
INTERNALS:
346
347
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
348
free of virtual file system methods.
349
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
350
351
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
352
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
353
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
356
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
357
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
358
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
359
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
360
(Robert Collins, #334187)
361
362
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
363
364
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
365
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
366
367
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
368
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
369
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
370
stream the operation.
371
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
372
373
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
374
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
375
376
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
377
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
378
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
379
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
380
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
381
382
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
383
branch object. (Robert Collins)
384
385
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
386
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
387
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
388
389
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
390
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
391
(Robert Collins)
392
393
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
394
(Robert Collins)
395
396
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
397
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
398
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
399
400
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
401
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
402
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
403
404
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
405
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
406
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
407
408
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
409
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
410
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
411
412
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
413
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
414
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
415
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
416
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
417
418
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
419
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
420
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
421
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
422
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
423
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
424
425
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
426
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
427
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
428
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
429
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
430
431
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
432
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
433
434
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
435
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
436
437
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
438
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
439
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
440
to access private data in record to obtain content more
441
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
444
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
445
(Robert Collins)

bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
449
--------------------------------
214
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
215
Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts
216
and stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
217
218
Changes From RC1 to Final
219
*************************
220
221
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
222
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
223
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
224
225
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
226
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
227
228
Compatibility Breaks
229
********************
230
231
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
232
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
233
command may need to be adjusted.
234
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
235
236
New Features
237
************
238
239
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
240
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
241
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
242
243
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
244
(Martin Pool)
245
246
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
247
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
248
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
249
(Ian Clatworthy)
250
251
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
252
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
253
254
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
255
(John Arbash Meinel)
256
257
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
258
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
259
260
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
261
262
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
263
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
264
(Jonathan Lange)
265
266
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
267
(Jonathan Lange)
268
269
Improvements
270
************
271
272
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
273
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
274
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
275
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
276
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
277
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
278
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
279
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
280
(Robert Collins)
281
282
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
283
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
286
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
287
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
288
289
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
290
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
291
292
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
293
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
294
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
295
(Ian Clatworthy)
296
297
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
298
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
299
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
300
301
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
302
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
303
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
304
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
305
306
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
307
(Jelmer Vernooij)
308
309
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
310
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
311
312
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
313
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
314
315
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
316
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
317
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
318
319
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
320
321
Bug Fixes
322
*********
323
324
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
325
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
326
327
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
328
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
329
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
330
331
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
332
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
334
335
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
336
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
337
338
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
339
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
340
Vernooij, #315048)
341
342
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
343
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
344
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
345
346
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
347
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
348
349
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
350
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
351
352
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
353
(James Westby, #174539)
354
355
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
356
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
357
358
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
359
error branching from old repositories.
360
(Martin Pool, #321695)
361
362
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
363
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
364
365
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
366
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
367
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
368
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
369
370
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
371
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
372
373
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
374
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
377
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
378
379
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
380
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
381
when needed.
382
(Vincent Ladeuil)
383
384
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
385
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
386
387
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
388
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)

516
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
517
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
518
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
519
520
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
521
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
522
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
523
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
524
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
525
526
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
527
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
528
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
529
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
530
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
531
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
532
533
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
534
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
535
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
536
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
537
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
538
539
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
540
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
541
542
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
543
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
544
545
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
546
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
547
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
548
to access private data in record to obtain content more
549
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
550
551
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
552
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

563
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
452
564
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
454
566
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
455
567
by showing the rate of network IO.
456
568
457
BUG FIXES:
458
459
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
460
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
461
462
DOCUMENTATION:
463
464
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
465
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)

bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
469
-----------------------------------
470
471
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
472
473
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
474
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
475
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
476
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
477
478
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
479
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
480
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
481
(Ian Clatworthy)
482
483
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
484
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
485
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
486
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
487
488
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
489
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
490
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
491
(Ian Clatworthy)
492
493
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
494
495
NEW FEATURES:
496
497
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
498
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
499
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
500
(Marius Kruger)
501
502
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
503
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
504
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
505
506
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
507
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
508
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
509
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
510
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
511
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
512
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
513
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
514
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
515
(Ian Clatworthy)
516
517
IMPROVEMENTS:
518
519
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
520
(Daniel Watkins)
521
522
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
523
(Marius Kruger)
524
525
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
526
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
527
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
528
529
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
530
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
531
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
532
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
533
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
534
535
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
536
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
537
538
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
539
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
540
level for better precision.
541
(Vincent Ladeuil)
542
543
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
544
rules. (Marius Kruger)
545
546
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
547
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
548
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
549
550
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
551
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
552
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
553
(Andrew Bennetts)
554
555
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
556
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
557
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
558
559
BUG FIXES:
560
561
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
562
anymore.
563
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
564
565
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
566
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
567
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
568
569
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
570
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
571
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
572
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
573
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
574
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
575
576
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
577
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
578
579
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
580
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
581
582
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
583
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
584
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
585
586
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
587
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
588
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
589
(Andrew Bennetts)
590
591
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
592
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
593
594
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
595
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
596
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
597
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
598
599
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
600
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
601
handled.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
603
604
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
605
606
DOCUMENTATION:
607
608
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
609
610
API CHANGES:
611
612
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
613
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
614
(Martin Pool)
615
616
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
617
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
618
619
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
620
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
621
622
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
623
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
624
625
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
626
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
627
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
628
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
629
630
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
631
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
632
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
633
634
INTERNALS:
635
636
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
637
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
638
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
639
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
640
compile buffers, are such an example).
641
(Vincent Ladeuil)
642
643
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
644
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
645
(Ian Clatworthy)
646
647
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
648
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
649
efficient way of doing the mapping.
650
(Ian Clatworthy)
651
652
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
653
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
654
655
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
656
formatters to retrict the output.
657
(Vincent Ladeuil)
569
Changes from RC1 to Final
570
*************************
571
572

573
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)

594
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
595
596
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``

598
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.

New Features
604
************
605
606
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
607
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
608
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
609

To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
621
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
622
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
687
---------------------------------
688
689
CHANGES:
690
691
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
692
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
693
694
NEW FEATURES:
695
696
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
697
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
698
699
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
700
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
701
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
702
implement other plugins.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil)
704
705
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
706
(Aaron Bentley)
707
708
IMPROVEMENTS:
709
710
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
711
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
712
713
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
714
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
715
716
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
717
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
718
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
719
processes which drag in shell extensions.
720
(Mark Hammond)
721
722
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
723
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
724
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
725
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
726
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
727
728
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
729
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
730
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
731
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
732
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
733
734
BUG FIXES:
735
736
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
737
control directory. (#139691)
738
739
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
740
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
741
742
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
743
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
744
745
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
746
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
747
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
748
749
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
750
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
751
752
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
753
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
754
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
755
756
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
757
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
758
759
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
760
(Jari Aalto)
761
762
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
763
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
764
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
765
766
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
767
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
768
769
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
770
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
771
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
772
773
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
774
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
775
in the appropriate sections.
776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
777
778
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
779
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
780
(John Arbash meinel)
781
782
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
784
785
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
787
788
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
789
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
790
791
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
792
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
793
work better with how it splits its requests.
794
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
795
796
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
797
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
798
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
799
800
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
801
(Aaron Bentley)
802
803
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
807
808
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
809
Duffy, #314251)
810
811
DOCUMENTATION:
812
813
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
814
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
815
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
816
(Ian Clatworthy)
817
818
API CHANGES:
819
820
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
821
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
822
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
823
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
824
825
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
826
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
827
828
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
829
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
830
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
831
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
832
833
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
834
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
835
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
836
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
837
838
TESTING:
839
840
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
841
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
842
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
843
844
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
845
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
846
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
847
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
848
849
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
850
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
851
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
852
(Ian Clatworthy)
853
854
INTERNALS:
855
856
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
857
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
858
(John Arbash Meinel)
859
860
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
861
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
862
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
863
(John Arbash Meinel)
864
865
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
866
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
867
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
868
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
869
870
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
871
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
872
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
873
874
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
875
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
876
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
877
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
878
879
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
880
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
881
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
882
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.

* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
934

There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
936
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
944
1068
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
946
1070
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
947
1071
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
948

949
NEW FEATURES:
950
951
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
952
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
953
954
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
955
(Aaron Bentley)
956
957
IMPROVEMENTS:
958
959
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
960
history just to set the last revision info.
961
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
962
963
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
964
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
965
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
966
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
967
968
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
969
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
970
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
971
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
972
(John Arbash Meinel)
973
974
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
975
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
976
977
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
978
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
979
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
980
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
981
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
982
983
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
984
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
985
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
986
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
987
988
BUG FIXES:
989
990
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
991
(Martin Pool, #289148)
992
993
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
994
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
995
996
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
997
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
998
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
999
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1000
1001
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1002
starting with a dotted revno.
1003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1004
1005
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1006
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1007
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1008
1009
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1010
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1011
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1012
1013
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1014
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1015
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1016
1017
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1018
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1019
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1020
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1021
1022
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1023
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1024
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1025
1026
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1027
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1028
1029
API CHANGES:
1030
1031
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1032
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1033
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1034
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1035
1036
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1037
have changed incompatibly.
1038
1039
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1040
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1041
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1042
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1043
don't need to change.
1044
1045
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1046
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1047

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1060
1189
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1063

protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1064
1193
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

NEW FEATURES:

1083
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1084
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1085
1086
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1087
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1088
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1089
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1090
1091
IMPROVEMENTS:
1092
1093
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1094
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1095
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1096
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1097
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1098
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1099
1100
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1101
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1102
1103
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1104
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1105
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1106
1107
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1108
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1109
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1110
(Andrew Bennetts)
1111
1112
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1113
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1114
1115
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1116
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1117
1118
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1119
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1120
1121
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1122
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1123
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1124
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1125
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1126
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1127
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1128
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1129
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1130
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1131
1132
BUG FIXES:
1133
1134
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1135
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1136
1137
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1138
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1139
1140
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1141
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1142
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1143
1144
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1145
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1146
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1147
1148
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1149
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1150
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1151
1152
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1153
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1154
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1155
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1156
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1157
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
1159
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1160
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1161
1162
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1163
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1164
1165
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1166
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1167
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1168
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1169
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1170
1171
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1172
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1173
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1174
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1175
1176
DOCUMENTATION:
1177
1178
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1179
1180
API CHANGES:
1181
1182
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1183
1184
INTERNALS:
1185
1186
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1187
configuration of authetication credentials.

the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1262
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
1265
*********
1266
1267
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1268
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1269
1270
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1271
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1272
1273
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1274
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1275
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1276
1277
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1278
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1279
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1280
1281
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1282
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1283
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1284
1285
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1286
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1287
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1288
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1289
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1290
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1291
1292
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1293
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1294
1295
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1296
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1297
1298
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1299
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1300
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1301
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1302
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1303
1304
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1305
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1306
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

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

1213
CHANGES:
1214
1215
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1216
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1217
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1218
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1219
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1220
1221
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1222
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1223
1224
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1225
server. (Marius Kruger)
1226
1227
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1228
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1229
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1230
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1231
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1232
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1233
1234
FEATURES:
1235
1236
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1237
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1238
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1239
welcome.
1240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1241
1242
IMPROVEMENTS:
1243
1244
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1245
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1246
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1247
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1248
1249
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1250
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1251
(Daniel Watkins)
1252
1253
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1254
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1255
(Andrew Bennetts)
1256
1257
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1258
(Robert Collins)
1259
1260
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1261
1262
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1263
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1264
1265
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1266
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1267
1268
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1269
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1270
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1271
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1272
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1273
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1274
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1275
operations. (Robert Collins)
1276
1277
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1278
1279
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1280
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1281
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1282
1283
BUG FIXES:
1284
1285
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1286
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1287
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1288
1289
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1290
repository now preserves the repository format.
1291
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1292
1293
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1295
1296
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1298
1299
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1300
it's not there.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1302
1303
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts)
1305
1306
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1307
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1308
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1309
1310
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1311
is in a different repository than the current one.
1312
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1313
1314
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1315
(David Futcher, #242106)
1316
1317
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1318
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1319
1320
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1321
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1322
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1323
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1324
1325
* Trivial documentation fix.
1326
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1327
1328
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1329

1330
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1331

DOCUMENTATION:
1334
1335
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1336
1337
API CHANGES:
1338
1339
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1340
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1341
to use. (Robert Collins)
1342
1343
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1344
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1345
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1346
1347
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1348
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1349
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1350
they want. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
TESTING:
1353
1354
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1355
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1356
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1357
1358
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1359
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1360
(Mark Hammond)
1361
1362
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1363

1364
1365
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1366
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1367
1368
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1369

1370
1371
INTERNALS:
1372
1373
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1374
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1375
1376
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1377
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1378
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1379
1380
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1381
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1382
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1383
1384
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1385
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1386
1387
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1388
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1391
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1392
1393
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1394
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1395
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1396
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1397
parameters anymore.

them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1485
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)

FEATURES
1488
1489
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1490
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1491
1492
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1493
1494
IMPROVEMENTS:
1495
1496
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1497
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1498
(Martin Pool)
1499
1500
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1501
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1504
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1505
(Marius Kruger)
1506
1507
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1508
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1509
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel)
1511
1512
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1513
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1514
1515
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1516
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1517
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1518
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1519
(John Arbash Meinel)
1520
1521
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1522
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1523
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1524
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1525
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1526
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1527
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1528
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1529
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1530
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1531
1532
BUG FIXES:
1533
1534
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1535
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1536
1537
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1538
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1539
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1540
1541
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1542
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1543
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1544
1545
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1546
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1547
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1548
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1549
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1550
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1551
1552
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1553
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1554
1555
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1556
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1557
1558
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1559
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1560
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1561
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1562
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1563
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1564
1565
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1566
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1567
1568
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1569
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1570
1571
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1572
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1573
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1575
1576
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1577
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1578
1579
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1580
assuming the host name is ascii.
1581
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1582
1583
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1584
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)

1592
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1593
1594
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1595
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1596
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1597
(Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1600
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)

1602
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1603

* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1606

1607
1608
TESTING:
1609
1610
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1611
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1612
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1613
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1614
1615
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1616
still in use.
1617
(Mark Hammond)
1618
1619
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1620
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1621
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1622
1623
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1624
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1625
1626
INTERNALS:
1627
1628
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1629
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1630
(Robert Collins)
1631
1632
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1633
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1634
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1635
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1636
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1637
1638
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1639
is unknown in both source and target.
1640
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1641
1642
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1643
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1644
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1645
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1646
1647
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1648
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1649
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1650
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

1772
still in use.
1773
(Mark Hammond)
1774
1775
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1776

1777
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)

1786

1787
(Robert Collins)
1788
1789
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1790
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1791
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1792
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1793
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1794
1795
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1796
is unknown in both source and target.
1797
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1798
1799
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1800
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1801
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1802
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1803
1804
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1805
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1806
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1807
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1676
1834
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1685
1843
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1686
1844
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

1688
BUG FIXES:
1689
1690
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1691
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1692
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1693
start of the string (causing more copies).
1694
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1695
especially for projects with large files.
1696
(John Arbash Meinel)
1697
1698
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1699
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1700
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1701
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1702
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1703
1704
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1705
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1706
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1707
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1708
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

1773

1843
1844
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1845
(James Westby)
1846
1847
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1848
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1849
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1850
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1851
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1852
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1853
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1854

1856
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1857
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

1877
that Python is running from.
1878
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)

1898
1899
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1900
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1901
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1902
(Robert Collins)
1903
1904
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1905
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1906
(Robert Collins)
1907
1908
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1909
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1910
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1911
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1912
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1913
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1914
(Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1917
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1918
1919
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1920
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1921
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1922
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1923
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1924
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
INTERNALS:
1927
1928
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1929
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1930
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1931
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1932
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1933
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1934
1935
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1936
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1937
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1940
(Ian Clatworthy)
1941
1942
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1943
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)

``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2017
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2018
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2019
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2020
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2021
2022
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2023
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2024
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

Bug Fixes
2027
*********
2028
2029
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2030
physical repository boundaries.
2031
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2032
2033
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2034
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2035
2036
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2037
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2038
(Martin Pool)
2039
2040
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2041
(Ian Clatworthy)
2042
2043
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2044
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2045
that Python is running from.
2046
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2047
2048
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2049
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2050
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2051
2052
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2053
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2054
2055
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2056
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2057
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2058
2059
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2060
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2061
2062
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2063
(James Westby, #248448)
2064
2065
API Changes
2066
***********
2067
2068
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2069
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2070
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2071
(Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2074
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2075
(Robert Collins)
2076
2077
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2078
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2079
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2080
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2081
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2082
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2083
(Robert Collins)
2084
2085
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2086
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2087
2088
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2089
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2090
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2091
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2092
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2093
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2094
2095
Internals
2096
*********
2097
2098
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2099
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2100
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2101
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2102
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2103
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
2105
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2106
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2107
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2110
(Ian Clatworthy)
2111
2112
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2113
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2114
2115
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
1951
2121
1952
2122
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1953
2123
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1955
2125
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1956
2126
bug fixes.
1957
2127
1958
FEATURES:
1959
1960
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1961
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1962
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1963
1964
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1965
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1966
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1967
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1968
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1969
(Ian Clatworthy)
1970
1971
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1972
1973
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1974
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1975
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1976
(Robert Collins)
1977
1978
IMPROVEMENTS:
1979
1980
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1981
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1982
(Martin Pool)
1983
1984
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1985
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1986
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1987
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1988
1989
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1990
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1991
(Christophe Troestler)
1992
1993
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1994
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1995
1996
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1997
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1998
faster. The new request method name is
1999
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2000
2001
BUG FIXES:
2002
2003
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2004
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2005
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2006
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2007
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2008
2009
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2010
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2011
2012
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2013
requires a branch to be present.
2014
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2015
2016
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2017
loaded.
2018
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2019
2020
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2021
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2022
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2023
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2024
2025
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2026
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2027
2028
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2029
name contains an @.
2030
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2031
2032
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2033
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2034
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2035
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2036
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2037
2038
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2039
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2040
2041
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2042
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2043
2044
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2045
Cygwin Bazaar.
2046
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2047
2048
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2049
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2050
2051
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2052
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2053
2054
DOCUMENTATION:
2055
2056
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.

2058
2059
* Updated developer documentation.
2060
(Martin Pool)
2061
2062
TESTING:
2063
2064
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2065
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2068
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2069
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2070
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2071
2072
API CHANGES:
2073
2074
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2075
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2076
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2077
Repository docstring for more details.
2078
(Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2081
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2082
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2083
2084
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2085
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2086
(Daniel Watkins)
2087
2088
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2089
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2090
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2091
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2092
2093
INTERNALS:
2094
2095
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2096
(Alexander Belchenko)
2097
2098
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2099
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2100
containing a given location.
2101
(Daniel Watkins)
2102
2103
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2104
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2105
storage. (Robert Collins)
2106
2107
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2108
(Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2111
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

2295
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2119
2296
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2120
2297
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2121
2298
now faster.
2122
2299
2123
BUG FIXES:
2124
2125
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2126
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2127
reading from the repository.)
2128
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2129
2130
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2131
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2132
2133
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2134
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2135
(Andrew Bennetts)
2136
2137
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2138
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2139
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2142
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2143
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2144
2145
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2146
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2147
2148

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2207
2208
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2209
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2210
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2211
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2212
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2213
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2214
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``

2223
FEATURES:
2224
2225
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2226
load. (James Westby)
2227
2228
IMPROVEMENTS:
2229
2230
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2231
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2232
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2233
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
2235
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2236
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2237
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2238
2239
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2240
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2241
2242
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2243
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2244
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2245
2246
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2247
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2248
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2249
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2250
step closer to not using full revision history.
2251

BUGFIXES:

2255
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2256
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2257
2258
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2259
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2260
2261
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2262
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2263
2264
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2265
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2266
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2267
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2268
2269
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2270
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2271
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2272
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2273
2274
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning

2276
in use by another process.
2277
(Martin Pool)
2278
2279
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2280
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2281
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2282
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)

* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is

INTERNALS:
2336
2337
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2338
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2339
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2340
(John Arbash Meinel)
2341
2342
API CHANGES:
2343
2344
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2345
instead. (Martin Pool)
2346
2347
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2348
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2349
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2350
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2351
2352
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2353
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2354
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2355
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2356
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2357
2358
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2359
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2360
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2361
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2362
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2363
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2364
2365
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2366
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2367
(Martin Pool)
2368
2369
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2370
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2371
(Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2374
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2375
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2376
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2377
2378
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2379
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2380
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2381
2382
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2383
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2384
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2385
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2386
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2387
(Martin Pool)
2388
2389
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2390
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2391
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2392
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2393
(Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2396
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2397
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2398
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2399
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2400
2401
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

2520
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2521

* New helper function for splitting test suites
2523
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2529
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2530
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2531

API Changes
2534
***********
2535
2536
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2537
instead. (Martin Pool)
2538
2539
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2540
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2541
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2542
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2543
2544
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2545
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2546
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2547
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2548
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2549
2550
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2551
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2552
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2553
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2554
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2555
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2556
2557
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2558
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2559
(Martin Pool)
2560
2561
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2562
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2563
(Robert Collins)
2564
2565
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2566
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2567
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2568
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2569
2570
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2571
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2572
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2573
2574
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2575
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2576
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2577
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2578
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2579
(Martin Pool)
2580
2581
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2582
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2583
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2584
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2585
(Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2588
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2589
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2590
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2591
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2592
2593
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

CHANGES:
2431
2432
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2433
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2434
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2435
variable. (Xavier Maillard)

FEATURES:

2439
IMPROVEMENTS:
2440
2441
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2442
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2443
2444
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2445

2446
2447
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.

BUGFIXES:
2451
2452
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2454
2455
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2456
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2457
2458
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2459
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2460
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2461
2462
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2463
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2465
2466
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2467
(Andreas Deininger)
2468
2469
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2471
2472
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2473
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2474
2475
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2476
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2477
2478
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2479
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2480
2481
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2482
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2484
2485
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2486
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2487
2488
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2489
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2490
2491
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2492
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2493
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2494
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2495
2496
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2497
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2498
(Martin Pool)
2499
2500
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2501
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2502
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2503
2504
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2505
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2506
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2507
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2508
every revision each side had in common.
2509
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2512
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2513
2514
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2515
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2516
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2517
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)

DOCUMENTATION:
2520
2521
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2522
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2523
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2524
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2525
2526
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2527
2528
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)

2534
2535
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2536
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2537
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2538
2539
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2540
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2541
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2542
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2543
2544
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2545
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2546
2547
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2548
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2549
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2550
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2551
2552
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2553
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2554
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2555
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2556
2557
INTERNALS:
2558
2559
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2560
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2561
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2562
2563
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2564
2565
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2566
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2567
2568
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2569
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2570

a test checks this. (Martin Pool)

2576

2578
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2579
2580
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2581
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2582
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2583
(Aaron Bentley)
2584

* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2607
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

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

CHANGES:
2639
2640
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2641
2642
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2643
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2644
2645
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2646
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2647
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2648
2649
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2650
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2651
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2652
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2653
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2654
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2655
Andrew Cowie)
2656
2657
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2658
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2659
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2660
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2661
2662
FEATURES:
2663
2664
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2665
2666
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2667
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2668
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2669
2670
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2671
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2672
See the User Reference for signature details.
2673
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2674
2675
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2676
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2677
2678
IMPROVEMENTS:
2679
2680
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2681
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2682
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2683
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2684
2685
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2686
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2687
2688
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2689
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2690
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2691
Wouter van Heyst)
2692
2693
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2694
(Chad Miller)
2695
2696
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2697
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2698
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2699
2700
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2701
(Aaron Bentley)
2702
2703
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2704
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2705
2706
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2707
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2708
2709
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2710
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2711
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2712
2713
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2714
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2715
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2716
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2717
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2718
2719
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2720
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2721
2722
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2723
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2724
2725
BUGFIXES:
2726
2727
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2728
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2729
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2730
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2731
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2732
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2733
2734
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2735
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2736
2737
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2738
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2739
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2740
2741
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2742
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2743
2744
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2745
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2746
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2747
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2748
2749
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2750
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2751
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2752
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2753
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2754
2755
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2756
2757
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2758
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2759
2760
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2761
2762
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2763
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2764
2765
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2766
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2767
2768
DOCUMENTATION:
2769
2770
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2771
2772
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2773
2774
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2775
2776
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2777
2778
API BREAKS:
2779
2780
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2781
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2782
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2783
2784
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2785
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2786
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2787
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2788
2789
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2790
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2791
release. (James Westby)
2792
2793
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2794
(Andrew Bennetts)
2795
2796
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2797
2798
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2799
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2800
2801
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2802
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2803
2804
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2805
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2806
2807
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2808
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2809
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2810
2811
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2812
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2813
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2814
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2815
2816
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2817
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2818
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2819
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2820
2821
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2822
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2823
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2824
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2825
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2826
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2827
2828
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2829
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2830
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2831
2832
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2833
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2834
2835
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2836
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2837
(Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2840
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2841
2842
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2843
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2846
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2847
2848
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2849
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2850
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2851
2852
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2853
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2854
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2855
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2856
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2857
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2858
2859
TESTING:
2860
2861
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2862
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2863
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2864
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2865
2866
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2867
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2868
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2869
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2870
implement this).
2871
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2872
2873
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2874
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2875
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2876
2877
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2878
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2879
2880
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2881
2882
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2883
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2884
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2885
2886
INTERNALS:
2887
2888
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2889
2890
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2891
(Martin Albisetti)
2892
2893
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2894
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2895
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2896
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2897
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2898
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2899
2900
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2901
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2902
2903
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2904
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2905
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2906
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2907
2908
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2909
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2910
2911
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2912
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2938
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2939
2940
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2941
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.

2948
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2949
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2950
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2951
2952
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2953
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2954
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2955
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2956

API Breaks
2983
**********
2984
2985
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2986
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2987
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2990
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2991
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2992
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2993
2994
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2995
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2996
release. (James Westby)
2997
2998
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2999
(Andrew Bennetts)
3000
3001
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3002
3003
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3004
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3005
3006
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3007
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3008
3009
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3010
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3011
3012
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3013
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3014
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3015
3016
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3017
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3018
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3019
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3020
3021
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3022
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3023
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3024
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3025
3026
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3027
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3028
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3029
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3030
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3031
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3032
3033
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3034
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3035
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3036
3037
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3038
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3039
3040
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3041
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3042
(Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3045
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3046
3047
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3048
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3049
3050
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3051
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3054
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3055
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3058
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3059
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3060
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3061
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3062
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3063
3064
Testing
3065
*******
3066
3067
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3068
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3069
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3070
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3071
3072
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3073
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3074
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3075
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3076
implement this).
3077
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3078
3079
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3080
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3081
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3082
3083
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3084
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3085
3086
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3087
3088
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3089
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3090
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3091

Internals
3093
*********
3094
3095
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3096
3097
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3098
(Martin Albisetti)
3099
3100
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3101
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3102
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3103
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3104
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3105
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3106
3107
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3108
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3109
3110
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3111
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3112
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3113
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3114
3115
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3116
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3117
3118
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3119
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2952
2953
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2954
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2955
2956
CHANGES:
2957
2958
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2959
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2960
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2961
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2962
(Robert Collins)
2963
2964
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2965
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2966
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2967
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2968
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2969
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2970
2971
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2972
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2973
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2974
(Alexander Belchenko)
2975
2976
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2977
2978
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2979
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2980
2981
FEATURES:
2982
2983
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2984
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2987
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2988
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2989
2990
IMPROVEMENTS:
2991
2992
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2995
2996
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2997
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2998
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
3000
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3001
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3002
3003
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3004
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3005
3006
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3007
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3008
(Alexander Belchenko)
3009
3010
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3011
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3012
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3013
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3014
3015
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3016
(Daniel Watkins)
3017
3018
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3019
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3020
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3021
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3022
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3023
3024
BUGFIXES:
3025
3026
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3027
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3028
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3029
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3030
3031
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3032
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3033
3034
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3035
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

3053
3054
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3055
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3056
3057
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3058
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3059
3060
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3061
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3062
3063
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3064
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3065
3066
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3067
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3068
3069
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3070
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)

(Alexander Belchenko)
3082
3083

3084
3085
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3086
3087
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3088
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3089
(Robert Collins)
3090
3091
INTERNALS:
3092
3093
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3094
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3095
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3096
3097
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3098
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3099
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3100
(Alexander Belchenko)
3101
3102
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3103
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3104
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3105
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3106
3107
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3108
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3109
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3110
(Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3113
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3114
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3115
3116
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3117
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3118
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3119
3120
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3121
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3122
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3123
format. (Robert Collins)

dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3211
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3212
3213
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3214
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3215
3216
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3217
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3218
3219
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3220
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3221
(Alexander Belchenko)
3222
3223
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3224
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3225
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3226
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3227
3228
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3229
(Daniel Watkins)
3230
3231
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3232
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3233
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3234
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3235
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

3242
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3243
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3244

* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3312
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3313
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3314
3315
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for

3321
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3322
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3323
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3324
3325
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3138
3139
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3140
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3141
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3142
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3143
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3144
(Andrew Bennetts)
3145
3146
CHANGES:
3147
3148
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3149
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3152
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3153
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3154
3155
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3156
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3157
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3158
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3159
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3160
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3161
(Aaron Bentley)
3162
3163
FEATURES:
3164
3165
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3166
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3167
3168
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3169
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3170
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3171
(Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3174
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3175
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3176
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3177
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3178
3179
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3180
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3181
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3182
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3183
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3184
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3185
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3186
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3187
3188
IMPROVEMENTS:
3189
3190
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3191
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3192
3193
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3194
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3195
3196
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3197
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3198
3199
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3200
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3201
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3202
3203
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3204
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3205
(John Arbash Meinel)
3206
3207
BUGFIXES:
3208
3209
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3210
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3211
3212
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3213
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3214
3215
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3216
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3217
3218
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3219
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3220
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3221
3222
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3223
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3224
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3225
3226
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3227
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3228
3229
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3230
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3231
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3232
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3233
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3234
unittest runner.
3235
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3236
3237
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3238
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3239
#185907)
3240
3241
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3242
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3243
3244
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3245
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3246
3247
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3249
3250
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3251
more characters which should be considered valid.
3252
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3253
3254
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3255
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3258
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3259
3260
API BREAKS:
3261
3262
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3263
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3264
3265
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3266
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3267
(Martin Pool)
3268
3269
TESTING:
3270
3271
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3272
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3273
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3274
3275
INTERNALS:
3276
3277
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3278
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3279
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3282
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3283
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3284
3285
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3286
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3287
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3288
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3291
3292
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3293
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3294
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3295
server. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3298
operate. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3301
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3302
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3303
3304
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3305
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3306
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3307
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3310
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3311
3312
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3313
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3314
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3317
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3320
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3321
3322
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3323
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3324
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3325
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
3335
3336
CHANGES:
3337
3338
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3339
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3340
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3341
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3342
3343
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3344
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3345
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3346
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3347
3348
FEATURES:
3349
3350
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3351
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3352
3353
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3354
(Aaron Bentley)
3355
3356
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3357
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3358
3359
IMPROVEMENTS:
3360
3361
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3362
#90049)
3363
3364
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3365
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3366
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3367
3368
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3369
3370
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3371
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3372
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3373
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3374
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3375
3376
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3377
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3378
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3379
3380
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3381
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3382
3383
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3384
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3385
3386
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3387
3388
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3389
3390
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3391
(Aaron Bentley)
3392
3393
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3394
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3395
3396
BUGFIXES:
3397
3398
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3399
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3400
3401
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3402

3403
3404
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3405
(Aaron Bentley)
3406
3407
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3408
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3409
3410
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3411
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3412
3413
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3414
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3415
3416
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3417
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3418
3419
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3420
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3421
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3422
3423
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3425
3426
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3427
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3428
(Aaron Bentley)
3429
3430
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3431
3432
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3433
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3435
3436
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.

3438
3439
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3440

3441
3442
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3443
#148087)
3444
3445
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3446
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3447
3448
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3449
#137681)
3450
3451
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3452
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3453
(Aaron Bentley)
3454
3455
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3456
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.

DOCUMENTATION:
3460
3461
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3462
(Ian Clatworthy)
3463
3464
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3465
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3466
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3467
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3468
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3469

3485
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3486

TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3517
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3520
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3521
3522

3621
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3622
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety

3663
---------------------
3664
3665
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3666
3667
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3668
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3669
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3670
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3671
3672
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3673
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3674
3675
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3676
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3677
3678
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3679
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3680
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3681
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3682
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3683
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3684
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3685
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3686
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3687
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3688
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3689
from any tree without problems.
3690

CHANGES:
3693
3694
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3695
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3696
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3697
3698
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3699
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3700
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3701
(Martin Pool)
3702
3703
FEATURES:
3704
3705
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3706
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3707
supported transports.
3708
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3709
3710
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3711
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3712
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3713
3714
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3715
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3716
3717
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3718
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3719
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3720
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3721
3722
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3723
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3724
3725
PERFORMANCE:
3726
3727
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3728
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3729
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3730
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3731
3732
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3733
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3734
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3735
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3736
3737
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3738
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3739
3740
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3741
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3742
3743
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3744
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3745
3746
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3747
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3748
(Aaron Bentley)
3749

* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3756
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3757
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3758
3759
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3760
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3761
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3762
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3763
3764
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3765
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3766

3767

3816
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3817
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3818

3820
on them.
3821

3875
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3876
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3877
3878
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3879
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3880
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3881
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3882
3883
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3884
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3885
3886
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3887
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3888
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)

API BREAKS:

3901
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3902
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3903
3904
* The return value of
3905
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3906
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3907
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3908
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3909
3910
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3911
(Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3914
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3915
format.
3916
(Martin Pool)
3917
3918
INTERNALS:
3919
3920
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3921

3922
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3923
Bennetts)
3924
3925
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3926
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3927
3928
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

Notes When Upgrading
3910
********************
3911
3912
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3913
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3914
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3915
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3916
3917
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3918
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3919
3920
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3921
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3922
3923
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3924
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3925
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3926
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3927
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3928
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3929
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3930
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3931
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3932
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3933
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3934
from any tree without problems.

*******
3939
3940
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3941
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3942
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3943
3944
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3945
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3946
(Martin Pool)

3948
Features
3949
********
3950
3951
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3952
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3953
supported transports.
3954
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3955
3956
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3957
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3958
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3959
3960
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3961
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3962
3963
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3964
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3965
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3966
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3967
3968
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3969
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)

3971
Performance
3972
***********
3973
3974
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3975
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3976
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3977
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3978
3979
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3980
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3981
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3982
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3983
3984
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3985
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3986
3987
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3988
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3989
3990
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3991
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3992
3993
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3994
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.

* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4004
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4005
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4006
4007
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4008
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4009
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4010
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4011
4012
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4013
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4014

4015
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3945
3946
CHANGES:
3947
3948
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3949
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3950
3951
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3952
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3953
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3954
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3955
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3956
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3957
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3958
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3959
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3960
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3961
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3962
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3963
(Robert Collins)
3964
3965
FEATURES:
3966
3967
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3968
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3969
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3970
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3971
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3972
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3973
3974
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3975
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3976
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3977
(Robert Collins)
3978
3979
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3980
3981
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3982
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3983
3984
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3985
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3986
(Aaron Bentley)
3987
3988
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3989
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3990
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3991
3992
PERFORMANCE:
3993
3994
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3995
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3996
3997
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3998
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3999
4000
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4001
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4002
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4003
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4004
4005
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4006
(Robert Collins)
4007
4008
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4009
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4010
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4011
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4012
4013
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4014
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4015
4016
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4017
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4018
4019
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4020
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4021
4022
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4023
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4024
4025
IMPROVEMENTS:
4026
4027
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4028
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4029
4030
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4031
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4032
4033
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4034
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4035
4036
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4037
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4038
4039
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4040
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4041
4042
DOCUMENTATION:
4043
4044
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4045

4048
4049
BUG FIXES:
4050
4051
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4052
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4053
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4054
4055
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4056
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4057
4058
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4059
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4060
4061
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4062
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4063
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4064
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4065
4066
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4067

API BREAKS:
4130
4131
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4132
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4133
4134
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4135
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4136
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4137
4138
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4139
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4140
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4141
4142
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4143
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4144
4145
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4146
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4147
4148
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4149
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4150
(Martin Pool)
4151
4152
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4153
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4154
4155
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4156
class that needs it.
4157
(Martin Pool)
4158
4159
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4160
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4161
4162
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4163
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4164
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4165
4166
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4167
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4168
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4169
(Robert Collins)
4170
4171
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4172
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4173
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4174
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4175
(Robert Collins)
4176
4177
INTERNALS:
4178
4179
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4180
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4181
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4184
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4185
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4186
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4187
4188
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4189
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4190
(Robert Collins)
4191
4192
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4193
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4194
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4195
4196
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4197
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4198
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4199
4200
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4201
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4202
4203
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4204
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4205
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4206
4207
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4208
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4209
4210
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4211
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4212
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4213
4214
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4215
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4216
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4217
4218
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4219
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4220
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4221
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4222
4223
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4224
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4225
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4226
returned. (Robert Collins)
4227
4228
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4229
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4230
4231
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4232
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4233
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4234
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4235
(Robert Collins)
4236
4237
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4238
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4239
4240
TESTING:
4241
4242
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4243
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4246
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4247
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4248
makes this behavior available to other users.
4249
(Martin Pool)
4250
4251
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4252
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4193

Changes
4196
*******
4197
4198
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4199
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4200
4201
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4202
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4203
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4204
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4205
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4206
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4207
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4208
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4209
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4210
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4211
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4212
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4213
(Robert Collins)
4214
4215
Features
4216
********
4217
4218
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4219
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4220
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4221
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4222
commands. (Robert Collins)
4223
4224
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4225
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4226
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4227
(Robert Collins)
4228
4229
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4230
4231
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4232
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4233
4234
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4235
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4236
(Aaron Bentley)
4237
4238
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4239
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4240
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4241
4242
Performance
4243
***********
4244
4245
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4246
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4247
4248
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4249
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4250
4251
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4252
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4253
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4254
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4255
4256
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4257
(Robert Collins)
4258
4259
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4260
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4261
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4262
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4265
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4266
4267
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4268
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4271
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4274
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

4306
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4307

4314
4315
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4316
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4317
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This

to complete. (Robert Collins)
4462
4463
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4464
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4465
4466
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4467
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4468
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4471
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4472
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4473
4474
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4475
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4476
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4477
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4480
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4481
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4482
returned. (Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4485
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4486
4487
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4488
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4489
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4490
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4491
(Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4494
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)

Testing
4497
*******
4498
4499
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4500
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4503
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4504
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4505
makes this behavior available to other users.
4506
(Martin Pool)
4507
4508
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4509
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

CHANGES:
4287
4288
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4289
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4290
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4291
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4292
(Martin Pool)
4293
4294
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4295
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4296
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4297
(Ian Clatworthy)
4298
4299
FEATURES:
4300
4301
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4302
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4303
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4304
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4305
4306
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4307
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4308
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4309
4310
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4311
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4312
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4313
4314
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4315
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4316
4317
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4318
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4319
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4320
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4321
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4322
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4323
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4324
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4325
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4326
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4327
4328
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4329
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4330
4331
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4332
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4333
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4334
4335
BUG FIXES:
4336
4337
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4338
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4339
4340
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4341
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4342
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4343
4344
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4345
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4346
4347
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4348
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4349
4350
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4351
(Aaron Bentley)
4352
4353
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4354
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4355
4356
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4357
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4358
4359
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4360
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4361
4362
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4363
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4364
4365
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4366
4367
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4368
Watkins, #106726)
4369
4370
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4371
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4372
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4373
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4374
4375
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4376
4377
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4378
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4379
#133548)
4380
4381
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4382
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4383
4384
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4385
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4386
#116143)
4387
4388
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4389
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4390
4391
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4392
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4393
4394
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4395
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4396
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4397
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4398
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4399
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4400
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4401
4402
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4403
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4404
4405
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4406
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4407
4408
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4409
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4410
4411
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4413
4414
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4415
connections.
4416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4417
4418
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4419
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4420
4421
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4422
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4423
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4424
4425
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4426
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4427
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4428
4429
IMPROVEMENTS:
4430
4431
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4432
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4433
4434
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4435
(Aaron Bentley)
4436
4437
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4438
(Aaron Bentley)
4439
4440
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4441
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4442
4443
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4444
4445
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4446
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4447
4448
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4449
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4450
4451
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4452
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4453
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4454
space). (Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4457
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4458
(Ian Clatworthy)
4459
4460
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4461
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4462
4463
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4464
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4465
4466
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4467
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4468
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4469
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4470
4471
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4472
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4473
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4474
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4475
4476
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4477
(Ian Clatworthy)
4478
4479
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4480
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4481
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4482
4483
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4484
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4485
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4486
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4487
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4488
4489
API BREAKS:
4490
4491
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4492
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4493
4494
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4495
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4496
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4497
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4498
affected. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4501
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4502
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4503
(Robert Collins)
4504
4505
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4506
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4507
4508
TESTING:
4509
4510
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4511
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4512
4513
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4514
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4515
4516
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4517
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4518
4519
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4520
(Aaron Bentley)
4521
4522
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4523
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4524
4525
INTERNALS:
4526
4527
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4528
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4529
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4530
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4531
4532
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4533
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4534
4535
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4536
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4537
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4538
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4539
4540
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4541
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4542
present. (Robert Collins)
4543
4544
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4545
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4546
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4547
API. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4550
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4551
(Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4554
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4555
4556
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4557
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4558
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4559
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4560
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4561
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4562
4563
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4564
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4565
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4566
4567
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4568
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4569
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4570
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4571
protocol.
4572
4573
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4574
(Aaron Bentley)
4575
4576
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4577
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4578
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4579
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4580
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4581
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4582
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4583
4584
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4585
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4586
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4587
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4588
4589
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4590
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4591
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4592
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4593
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4594
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4595
4596
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4597
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4598
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4599
4600
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4601
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4573
4574
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4575
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4576
4577
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4578
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4579
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4580
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4581
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4582
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4583
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4584
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4585
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4586
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4587
4588
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4589
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4590
4591
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4592
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4593
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4594
4595
Bug Fixes
4596
*********
4597
4598
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4599
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4600
4601
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4602
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4603
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4604
4605
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4606
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4607
4608
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4609
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4610
4611
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4612
(Aaron Bentley)
4613
4614
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4615
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4616
4617
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4618
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4619
4620
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4621
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4622
4623
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4624
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4625
4626
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4627
4628
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4629
Watkins, #106726)
4630
4631
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4632
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4633
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4634
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4635
4636
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4637
4638
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4639
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4640
#133548)
4641
4642
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4643
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4644
4645
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4646
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4647
#116143)
4648
4649
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4650
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4651
4652
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4653
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4654
4655
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4656
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4657
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4658
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4659
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4660
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4661
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4662
4663
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4664
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4665
4666
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4667
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4668
4669
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4670
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4671
4672
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4674
4675
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4676
connections.
4677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4678
4679
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4680
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4681
4682
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4683
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4684
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4685
4686
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4687
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4688
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)

4690
Improvements
4691
************
4692
4693
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4694
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4695
4696
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4697
(Aaron Bentley)
4698
4699
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4700
(Aaron Bentley)
4701
4702
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4703
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4704
4705
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4706
4707
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4708
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4709
4710
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4711
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4712
4713
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4714
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4715
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4716
space). (Robert Collins)
4717
4718
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4719
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4720
(Ian Clatworthy)
4721
4722
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4723
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4724
4725
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4726
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4727
4728
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4729
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4730
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4731
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4732
4733
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4734
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4735
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4736
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4737
4738
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4739
(Ian Clatworthy)
4740
4741
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4742
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4743
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4744
4745
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4746
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4747
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4748
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4749
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4750
4751
API Breaks
4752
**********
4753
4754
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4755
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4756
4757
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4758
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4759
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4760
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4761
affected. (Robert Collins)
4762
4763
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4764
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4765
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4766
(Robert Collins)
4767
4768
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4769
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4770
4771
Testing
4772
*******
4773
4774
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4775
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4776
4777
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4778
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4779
4780
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4781
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4782
4783
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4784
(Aaron Bentley)
4785
4786
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4787
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4788
4789
Internals
4790
*********
4791
4792
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4793
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4794
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4795
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4796
4797
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4798
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4799
4800
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4801
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4802
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4803
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4804
4805
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4806
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4807
present. (Robert Collins)
4808
4809
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4810
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4811
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4812
API. (Robert Collins)
4813
4814
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4815
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4816
(Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4819
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4820
4821
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4822
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4823
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4824
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4825
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4826
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4827
4828
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4829
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4830
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4831
4832
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4833
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4834
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4835
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4836
protocol.
4837
4838
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4839
(Aaron Bentley)
4840
4841
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4842
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4843
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4844
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4845
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4846
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4847
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4848
4849
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4850
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4851
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4852
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4853
4854
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4855
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4856
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4857
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4858
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4859
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4860
4861
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4862
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4863
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4864
4865
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4866
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

4629
BUGFIXES:
4630
4631
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4632
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4633
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4634
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4635
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4636
4637
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4639
4640
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4641
anymore.
4642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4643
4644
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4645
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4646
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4647
4648
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4649
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4650
#111664)
4651
4652
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4653
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4654
4655
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4656
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4657
4658
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4659
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4660
4661
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4662
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4663
4664
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4665
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4666
4667
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4668
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4669
4670
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4671
(Aaron Bentley)
4672
4673
IMPROVEMENTS:
4674
4675
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4676
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4677
4678
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4679
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4680
4681
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4682
the repository (Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4685
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4686
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4687
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4688
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4689
4690
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4691
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4692
4693
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4694
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4695
(John Arbash Meinel)
4696
4697
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4698
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4699
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4700
about 10%).
4701
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4702
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4703
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4704
(John Arbash Meinel)
4705
4706
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4707
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4708
(Robert Collins)
4709
4710
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4711
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4712
4713
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4714
(Ian Clatworthy)
4715
4716
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4717
4718
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4719
4720
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4721
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4722
4723
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4724
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4725
Meinel)
4726
4727
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4728
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4729
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4730
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4731
4732
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4733
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4734
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4735
4736
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4737

change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4747

4765
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4766
4767
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4768
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4769
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4770
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4771
4772
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4773
4774
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4775
(Robert Collins)
4776
4777
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4778
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4779
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4780
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4781
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4782
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4783
4784
INTERNALS:
4785
4786
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4787
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4788
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4789
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4790
4791
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4792
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4793
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4794
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4795
tests have been refactored too.
4796
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4797
4798
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4799
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4800
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4801
list, it will.
4802
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4803
4804
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4805
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4806
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4807
4808
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4809
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4810
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4811
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4812
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4813
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4814
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4815
4816
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4817
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4818
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4819
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4820
(John Arbash Meinel)
4821
4822
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4823
functionality for testing.
4824
4825
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4826
4827
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4828
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4829
4830
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4831
4832
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4833
(Robert Collins)
4834
4835
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4836
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4837
4838
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4839
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4840
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4841
4842
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4843
(Aaron Bentley)
4844
4845
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4846
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4847
4848
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4849
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4850
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4851
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4852
4853
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4854
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4855
4856
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4857
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4858
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4859
4860
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4861
(Marius Kruger)
4862
4863
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4864
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4865
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4866
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4867
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4868
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4871
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4872
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4873
many files. (Robert Collins)
4874
4875
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4876
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4877
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4878
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4879
4880
TESTING:
4881
4882
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4883
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4884
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4885
4886
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4887
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4888
4889
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4890
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4891
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

4898
4899
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4900
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4901
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4902
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4903
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)

4914

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4927
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4928
4929
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4930
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4931
4932

4944
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4945
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4946
4947
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4948
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4949
4950
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4951
the repository (Robert Collins)
4952
4953
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4954
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4955
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4956
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4957
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4958
4959
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4960
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4961
4962
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4963
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4964
(John Arbash Meinel)
4965
4966
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4967
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4968
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4969
about 10%).
4970
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4971
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4972
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4973
(John Arbash Meinel)
4974
4975
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4976
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4977
(Robert Collins)
4978
4979
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4980
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4981
4982
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4983
(Ian Clatworthy)
4984
4985
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4986
4987
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4988
4989
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4990
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4991
4992
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4993
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4994
Meinel)
4995
4996
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4997
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4998
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4999
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5000
5001
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5002
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5003
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5004

* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4951
4952
IMPROVEMENTS:
4953
4954
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4955
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4956
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4957
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4958
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4959
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4960
4961
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4962
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4963
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4964
4965
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4966
(Elliot Murphy)
4967
4968
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4969
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4970
4971
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4972
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4973
4974
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4975
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4976
4977
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4978
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4979
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4980
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4981
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4982
4983
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4984
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4985
4986
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4987
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4988
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4989
4990
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4991
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4992
4993

4994
4995

5001
5002
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
5003

5004
5005
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5006
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5007
5008
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5009

LIBRARY API BREAKS:
5023
5024
* Testing cleanups -
5025
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5026
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
5027
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved

5039
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5040

5041
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
5042
(Robert Collins)
5043
5044
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5045
5046
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5047
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5048
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
5051
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
5052
5053
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5054
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5055
5056
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5057
5058
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5059
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5060
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5061
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5062
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5063
same location. (Robert Collins)
5064
5065
INTERNALS:
5066

* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5070
5071
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)

5073
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.

(Martin Pool)
5075
5076
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5077
(Martin Pool)
5078
5079
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5080
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5081
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5082
5083
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5084
5085
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5086
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5087
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5088
5089
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5090
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5091
5092
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5093
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5094
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5095
5096
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5097
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5098
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5099
5100
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5101
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5102
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5103
5104
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5105
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5106
Martin Pool)
5107
5108
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5109
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5110
5111
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5112
(Alexander Belchenko)
5113
5114
TESTING:
5115
5116
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5117
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5118
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5119
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5120
5121
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5122
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5123
testing. (Robert Collins)
5124
5125
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5126
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5127
5128
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5129
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5130
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5131
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5132
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5133
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5134
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5135
5136
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5137
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5138
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5139
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5140
5141
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5142
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5143
5144
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5145
avoid useless cloning.

* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5407
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5408
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5409
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5410
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5411
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5412
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5413
5414
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5415
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5416
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5417
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5418
5419
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5420
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5421
5422
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5423
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5165
5166
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5167
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5168
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5169
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5170
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5171
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5172
and unlock() like so::
5173
5174
work_tree.lock_read()

5177
finally:

5179
5180
INTERNALS:
5181
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5182
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5183
object.
5184
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5185
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5186
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5187
5188
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5189
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5190
too. (Robert Collins)

5192
IMPROVEMENTS:

5198
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5199
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5200
5201
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5202
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5203
5204
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5205
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help

5207
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)

* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,

5211
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5212
5213
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5214
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5215
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5216
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

5226
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5227
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5228

* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5247

5318
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5319
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5320
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5321
but not delete it.
5322
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5323
files.
5324
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5330
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5331
5332
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5333
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5334
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5335
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)

5337
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5338
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5339
5340
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5341
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5342
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5343
5344

5349
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5350
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5351
5352
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5353
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5354
Robert Collins)
5355
5356
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5357
Pool)
5358
5359
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5360
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5361
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5362
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)

5366
5367
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using

5369
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.

* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5376
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5377
5378
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5379
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5380
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5381
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5382
(Robert Collins)
5383

* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5385
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)

5387
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.

5391

5393

* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5395
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5396
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5397
5398
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5399
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5400
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5403
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5404
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5405
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5406
5407
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5408
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5409
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5410
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5411
5412
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5413
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5414
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5415
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5416
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5417
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5418
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5419
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5420
header(s).

* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5426

5427
5428
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5429
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5430
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5431
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5432
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5433
5434

5435
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5438

5450
5451
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5452

5453
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5454
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5455

* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5463
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5464

5465
5466
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5467
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5468
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5469
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5470
5471
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5472
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5473
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5474
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5475
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5476
5477
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5478
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5479
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5480
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5481
5482
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5483
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5484
5485
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5486
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5487
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5488
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5489
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5490
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5491
5492
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5493
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5494
5495
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5496
help. (Robert Collins)
5497
5498
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5499
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5500
5501
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5502
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5503
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5504
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5505
(John Arbash Meinel)
5506
5507
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5508
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5509
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5510
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5511
useful. (Robert Collins)

* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5525
properly and is no longer beneficial.

5527
5528
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.

5532
the file, and does it faster.
5533
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5534
5535
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5536
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5537
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5538
5539
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5540
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5541
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5542
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5543
5544
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5545
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5546
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5547
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5548
5549
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5550
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5551
5552
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5553
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5554
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5555
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5556
Arbash Meinel)
5557
5558
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5559
5560
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5561
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5562
5563
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5564
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5565
5566
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5567
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5568
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5569
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5570
security hole.
5571
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5572
5573
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5575
5576
TESTING:
5577
5578
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5579
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5580
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5581
5582
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5583
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5584
5585
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5586
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5587
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5588
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5589
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5590
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5591
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5592
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5593
5594
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5595
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5596
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5597
5598
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5599
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5600
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5601
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5602
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5603
access.
5604
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5605
5606
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5607
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5608
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5609
5610
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5611
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

Notes When Upgrading
5601
********************
5602
5603
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5604
it could be recovered again.
5605
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5606
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5607
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5608
but not delete it.
5609
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5610
files.
5611
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

Improvements
5615
************
5616
5617
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5618
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5619
5620
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5621
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5622
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5623
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5624
5625
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5626
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5627
5628
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5629
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5630
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5631
5632
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5633
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5634
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5635
5636
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5637
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5638
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5641
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5642
Robert Collins)
5643
5644
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5645
Pool)
5646
5647
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5648
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5649
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5650
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5651
5652
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5653
(Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5656
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5657
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5658
(Robert Collins)
5659
5660
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5661
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5662
5663
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5664
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5665
5666
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5667
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5668
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5669
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5670
(Robert Collins)
5671
5672
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5673
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5674
5675
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5676
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5677
5678
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5679
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5680
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5681
5682
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5683
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5684
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5685
5686
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5687
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5688
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5689
5690
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5691
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5692
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5693
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5694
5695
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5696
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5697
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5698
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5699
5700
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5701
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5702
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5703
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5704
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for

and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5836
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5837
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5838
5839
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5840
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5841
5842
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5843
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5844
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5845
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5846
Arbash Meinel)
5847
5848
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5849
5850
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5851
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5852
5853
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5854
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5855
5856
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5857
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5858
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5859
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5860
security hole.
5861
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5862
5863
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5864
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5865
5866
Testing
5867
*******
5868
5869
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5870
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5871
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5872
5873
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5874
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5875
5876
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5877
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5878
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5879
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5880
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5881
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5882
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5883
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5884
5885
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5886
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5887
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5888
5889
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5890
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5891
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5892
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5893
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5894
access.
5895
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5896
5897
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5898
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5899
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5900
5901
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5902
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

5637
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5638

5639
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5640
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the

5651
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)

5654

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5749
-----------------------
5750
5751
SURPRISES:
5752
5753
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5754
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5755
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5756
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5757
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5758
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5759
5760
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5761
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5762
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5763
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5764
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5765
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5766
development.
5767
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5768
5769
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5770
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5771
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5772
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5773
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5774
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5775
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5776
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5777
5778
IMPROVEMENTS:
5779
5780
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5781
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5782
5783
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5784
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5785
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5786
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5787
does exist.
5788
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5789
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5790
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5791
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5792
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5793
5794
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5795
(Aaron Bentley)
5796
5797
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5798
(Aaron Bentley)
5799
5800
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5801
(Robert Collins)
5802
5803
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5804
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5805
(Aaron Bentley)
5806
5807
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5808
(Aaron Bentley)
5809
5810
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5811
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5812
5813
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5814
directory. (Martin Pool)
5815
5816
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5817
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5818
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5819
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5820
5821
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5822
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5823
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5824
in docs/configuration.txt.
5825
5826
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5827
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5828
bind location.
5829
5830
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5831
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5832
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5833
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5834
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5835
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5836
5837
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5838
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5839
5840
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5841
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5842
5843
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5844
(Aaron Bentley)
5845
5846
INTERNALS:
5847
5848
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5849
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5850
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5851
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5852
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5853
(John Arbash Meinel)
5854
5855
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5856
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5857
(Aaron Bentley)
5858
5859
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5860
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5861
(John Arbash Meinel)
5862
5863
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5864
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5865
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5866
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5867
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5868
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5869
5870
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5871
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5872
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5873
5874
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5875
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5876
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5877
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5878
repository.
5879
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5880
5881
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5882
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5883
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5884
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5885
5886
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5887
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5888
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5889
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5890
5891
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5892
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5893
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5894
5895
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5896
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5897
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5898
5899
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5900
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5901
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5902
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5903
5904
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5905
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5906
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5907
5908
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5909
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5910
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5911
5912
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5913
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5914
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5915
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5916
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5917
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5918
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5919
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5920
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

BUGFIXES:
5925
5926
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5927

5928
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5929
5930
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5931
(Aaron Bentley)
5932
5933
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5934
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5935
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5936
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5937
5938
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5939
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5940

5941
5942
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5943

5945
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5946

6051
Surprises
6052
*********
6053
6054
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6055
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6056
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6057
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6058
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6059
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6060
6061
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6062
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6063
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6064
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6065
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6066
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6067
development.
6068
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6069
6070
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6071
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6072
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6073
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6074
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6075
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6076
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6077
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6078
6079
Improvements
6080
************
6081
6082
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6083
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6084
6085
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6086
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6087
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6088
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6089
does exist.
6090
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6091
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6092
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6093
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6094
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6095
6096
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6097
(Aaron Bentley)
6098
6099
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6100
(Aaron Bentley)
6101
6102
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6103
(Robert Collins)
6104
6105
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6106
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6107
(Aaron Bentley)
6108
6109
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6110
(Aaron Bentley)
6111
6112
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6113
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6114
6115
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6116
directory. (Martin Pool)
6117
6118
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6119
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6120
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6121
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6122
6123
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6124
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6125
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6126
in docs/configuration.txt.
6127
6128
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6129
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6130
bind location.
6131
6132
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6133
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6134
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6135
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6136
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6137
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6138
6139
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6140
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6141
6142
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6143
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6144
6145
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6146
(Aaron Bentley)
6147
6148
Internals
6149
*********
6150
6151
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6152
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6153
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6154
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6155
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6156
(John Arbash Meinel)
6157
6158
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6159
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6160
(Aaron Bentley)
6161
6162
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6163
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6164
(John Arbash Meinel)
6165
6166
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6167
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6168
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6169
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6170
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6171
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6172
6173
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6174
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6175
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6176
6177
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6178
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6179
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6180
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6181

6185

6186
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6187
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6188
6189
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6190
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6191
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6192
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6193
6194
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6195
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6196
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6197
6198
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6199
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6200
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6201
6202
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6203
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6204
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6205

6208
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6209
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6210
6211
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6212
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6213
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6214
6215
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6216
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6217
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6218
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial

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

5995
IMPROVEMENTS:
5996
5997
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5998
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5999
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6000
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6001
6002
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6003
(Marius Kruger)
6004
6005
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6006
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6007
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6008
6009
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6010
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6011
6012
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6013
(Aaron Bentley)
6014
6015
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6016
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6017
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6018
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6019
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6020
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6021
6022
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6023
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6024
should enable you to do::
6025
6026
[/home/user/project]
6027
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6028
push_location:policy = appendpath
6029
6030
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6031
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6032
(James Henstridge)
6033
6034
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6035
for each file. For example::
6036
6037
$ bzr status --short
6038
A foo
6039

6040
D baz

6047

* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6049
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)

* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6052

6055
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to

help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6057
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6058
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6059
6060
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6061
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6062
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6063
6064
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6065
6066
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6067
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6068
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6069

* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6085
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6086
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

6103
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6104
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6105
6106
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6107

Improvements
6303
************
6304
6305
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6306
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6307
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6308
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6309
6310
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6311
(Marius Kruger)
6312
6313
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6314
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6315
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6316
6317
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6318
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6319
6320
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6321
(Aaron Bentley)
6322
6323
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6324
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6325
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6326
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6327
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6328
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6329
6330
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6331
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6332
should enable you to do::
6333
6334
[/home/user/project]
6335
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6336
push_location:policy = appendpath
6337
6338
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6339
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6340
(James Henstridge)
6341
6342
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6343
for each file. For example::
6344
6345
$ bzr status --short
6346
A foo
6347
A bar
6348
D baz
6349
? wooley
6350
6351
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6352
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6353
6354
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6355
6356
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6357
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6358
6359
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6360
6361
Internals
6362
*********
6363
6364
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6365
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6366
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6367
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6368
6369
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6370
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6371
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6372
6373
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6374
6375
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6376
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6377
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6378
(Alexander Belchenko)
6379
6380
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6381
Pool)
6382
6383
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6384
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6385
6386
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)

6390
6391
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6392
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6393
6394
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6395
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6396
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6397

IMPROVEMENTS:
6133
6134
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6135
tree from a branch.
6136
(Daniel Silverstone)
6137
6138
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6139
operations are substantially faster.
6140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6141
6142
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6143
tree from some other url. For example:
6144
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6145
(Daniel Silverstone)
6146
6147
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6148
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6149
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6150
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6151
6152
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6153
(Andrew Bennetts)
6154
6155
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6156
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6157
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6158
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6159
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6160
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6161
6162
INTERNALS:
6163
6164
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6165
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6166
(Martin Pool)
6167
6168
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6169
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6170
(John Arbash Meinel)
6171
6172
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6173
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6174
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6175
(John Arbash Meinel)
6176
6177
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6178
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6179
6180
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6181
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6182
6183
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6184
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6185
Bennetts)
6186
6187
BUG FIXES:
6188
6189
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6190
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6191
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6192
6193
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6194
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6195
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6196
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6197
6198
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6199
6200
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6201
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6202
6203
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6204
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6205
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6207
6208
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6209
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6210
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6211
6212
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6213
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6214
them as full references rather than integers.
6215
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6216
6217
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6218
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6219
6220
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6221
6222
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6223
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6224
6225
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6226
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6227
6228
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6229
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6230
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6231
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6232
6233
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6234
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6235
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6236
6237
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6238
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6239
6240
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6241
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6242
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6243
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6272
6273
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6274
6275
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6276
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6277
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6278
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6279
6280
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6281
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6282
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6283

6306
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6307
(Aaron Bentley)
6308
6309

6311
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6312
6313
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6314

6315
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6316
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on

6318
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6319
6320
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6321

6345
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6346

6347
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6348
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6349
6350
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6351

IMPROVEMENTS:
6396
6397
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6398
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6399
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6400
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6401
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6402
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6403
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6404
6405
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6406
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6407
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6408
6409
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6410
6411
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6412
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6413
6414
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6415
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6416
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6417
(Robert Collins)
6418
6419
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6420
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6421
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6422
(John Arbash Meinel)
6423
6424
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6425
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6426
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6427
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6428
Pool)
6429
6430
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6431
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6432
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

BUG FIXES:

6443
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6444
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6447
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

6461
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6462
6463
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6464

6465
6466
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6467
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6468
6469
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6470
(John Arbash Meinel)
6471
6472
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes

some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6474
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6475
6476
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6477
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6478
6479
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6480
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6481
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6482
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6483
6484
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6485
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6486
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

6498
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6499
(John Arbash Meinel)
6500
6501
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6502
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6503
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6504
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6505
6506
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6507
(Andrew Bennetts)
6508
6509
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6510
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6511
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6512
6513
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6514
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6515
6516
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6517
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6518
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6519
6520
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6521
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6522
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6523
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6524
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6525
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6526
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6527
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6528
caller to repeat their request.
6529
(John Arbash Meinel)
6530
6531
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6532
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6533
6534
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6535
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6536
6537
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6538
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6539
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6540
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6541
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6542
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6543
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6544
6545
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6546
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6547
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6548
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6549
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6550
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6551
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6552
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6553
(Robert Collins)
6554
6555
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6556
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6557
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6558
6559
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6560
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6561
6562
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6563
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6564
6565
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6566
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6567

``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6572
6573
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6574
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6575
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6576
6577
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6578
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6579
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

Improvements
6718
************
6719
6720
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6721
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6722
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6723
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6724
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6725
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6726
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6727
6728
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6729
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6730
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6731
6732
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6733
6734
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6735
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6736
6737
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6738
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6739
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6740
(Robert Collins)
6741
6742
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6743
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6744
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6745
(John Arbash Meinel)
6746
6747
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6748
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6749
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6750
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6751
Pool)
6752
6753
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6754
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6755
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6756
(John Arbash Meinel)
6757

Bug Fixes
6759
*********
6760
6761
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6762
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6763
6764
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6765
6766
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6767
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6768
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6769
6770
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6771
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6772
6773
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6774
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6775
6776
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6778
6779
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6780
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6781
6782
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6783
6784
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6785
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6786
6787
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6788
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6789
6790
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6791
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6792
6793
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6794
(John Arbash Meinel)
6795
6796
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6797
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6798
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6799
6800
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6801
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6802
6803
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6804
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6805
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6806
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6807
6808
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6809
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6810
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6811
6812
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6813
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6814
6815
Portability
6816
***********
6817
6818
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6819
6820
Internals
6821
*********
6822
6823
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6824
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6825
(John Arbash Meinel)
6826
6827
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6828
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6829
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6830
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6831
6832
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6833
(Andrew Bennetts)
6834
6835
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6836
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6837
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6838
6839
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6840
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6841
6842
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6843
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6844
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6845
6846
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6847
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6848
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6849
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6850
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6851
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6852
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6853
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6854
caller to repeat their request.
6855
(John Arbash Meinel)
6856
6857
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6858
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6859
6860
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6861
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6862
6863
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6864
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6865
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6866
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6867
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6868
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6869
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6870
6871
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6872
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6873
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6874
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6875
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6876
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6877
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6878
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6879
(Robert Collins)
6880
6881
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6882
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6883
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6884
6885
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6886
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6887
6888
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6889
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6890
6891
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6892
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6893
6894
Testing
6895
*******
6896
6897
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6898
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6899
6900
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6901
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6902
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6903
6904
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6905
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6906
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

6584
IMPROVEMENTS:
6585
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6586
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6587
6588
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6589
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6590
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6591
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6592
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6593
6594
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6595
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6596
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6597
6598
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6599
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6600
6601
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6602
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6603
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6604
6605
BUG FIXES:
6606
6607
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6608
6609
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6610
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6611
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6612
6613
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6614
6615
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6616
6617
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6618
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6619
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6620
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6621
6622
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6623
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6624
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6625
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6626
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6627
6628
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6629
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6630
6631
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6632
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6633
6634
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6635
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6636
6637
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6638
in handling of revision properties.
6639
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6640
6641
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6642
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6643
6644
INTERNALS:
6645
6646
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6647
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6648
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6649
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6650
(John Arbash Meinel)
6651
6652
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6653
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6654
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

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

6659
SURPRISES:
6660
6661
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6662
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6663
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6664
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6665
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6666
a more conservative list than the old default.
6667
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6668
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6669
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6670
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6671
6672
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6673
to more locations than just branch locations.
6674
(Aaron Bentley)
6675
6676
IMPROVEMENTS:
6677
6678
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6679
revno:N:branch. For example,
6680
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6681
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6682
6683
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6684
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6685
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6686
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6687
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6688
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6689
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6690
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6691
#42517, #42514)
6692
6693
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6694
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6695
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6696
(Malone #3507)
6697
6698
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6699
(Alexander Belchenko)
6700
6701
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6702
6703
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6704
(Robert Collins).
6705
6706
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6707
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6708
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6709
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6710
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6711
(John Arbash Meinel)
6712
6713
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6714
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6715
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6716
grained analysis of performance.
6717
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6718
6719
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6720
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6721
6722
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6723
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6724
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6725
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6726
file. (Robert Collins).
6727
6728
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6729
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6730
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6731
6732
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6733
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6734
Matthieu Moy)
6735
6736
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6737
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6738
6739
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6740
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6741
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6742
the same way you would apply another branch.
6743
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6744
6745
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6746
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6747
6748
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6749
(Michael Ellerman)
6750
6751
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6752
(Aaron Bentley)
6753
6754
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6755
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6756
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6757
6758
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6759
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6760
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6761
6762
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6763
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6764
6765
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6766
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6767
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6768
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6769
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6770
6771
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6772
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6773
6774
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6775
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6776
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6777
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6778
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6779
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6780
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6781
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6782
6783
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6784
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6785
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6786
6787
BUG FIXES:
6788
6789
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6790
tests not to run.
6791
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6792
6793
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6794
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6795
6796
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6797
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6798
6799
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6800
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6801
6802
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6803
6804
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6805
(John Arbash Meinel)
6806
6807
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6808
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6809
6810
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6811
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6812
and y.
6813
6814
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6815
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6816
6817
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6818
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6819
6820
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6821
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6822
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6823
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6824
6825
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6826
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6827
6828
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6829
6830
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6831
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6832
6833
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6834
6835
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6836
6837
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6838
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6839
6840
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6841
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6842
6843
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6844
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6845
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6846
6847
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6848
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6849
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6850
6851
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6852
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6853
6854
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6855
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6856
6857
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6858
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6859
6860
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6861
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6862
6863
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6864
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6865
6866
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6867
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6868
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6869
6870
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6871
6872
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6873
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6874
6875
INTERNALS:
6876
6877
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6878
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6879
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6880
6881
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6882
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6883
6884
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6885
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6886
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6887
6888
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6889
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6890
6891
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6892
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6893
(Martin Pool)
6894
6895
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6896
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6897
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6898
6899
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6900
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6901
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6902
6903
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6904
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6905
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6906
6907
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6908
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6909
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6910
6911
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6912
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6913
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6914
6915
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6916
instead. (Robert Collins)
6917
6918
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Surprises
6990
*********
6991
6992
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6993
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6994
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6995
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6996
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6997
a more conservative list than the old default.
6998
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6999
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7000
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7001
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7002
7003
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7004
to more locations than just branch locations.
7005
(Aaron Bentley)
7006
7007
Improvements
7008
************
7009
7010
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7011
revno:N:branch. For example,
7012
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7013
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7014
7015
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7016
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7017
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7018
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7019
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7020
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7021
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7022
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7023
#42517, #42514)
7024
7025
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7026
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7027
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7028
(Malone #3507)
7029
7030
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7031
(Alexander Belchenko)
7032
7033
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7034
7035
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7036
(Robert Collins).
7037
7038
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7039
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7040
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7041
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7042
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7043
(John Arbash Meinel)
7044
7045
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7046
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7047
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7048
grained analysis of performance.
7049
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7050
7051
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7052
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7053
7054
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7055
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7056
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7057
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7058
file. (Robert Collins).
7059
7060
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7061
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7062
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7063
7064
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7065
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7066
Matthieu Moy)
7067
7068
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7069
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7070
7071
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7072
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7073
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7074
the same way you would apply another branch.
7075
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7076
7077
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7078
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7079
7080
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7081
(Michael Ellerman)
7082
7083
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7084
(Aaron Bentley)
7085
7086
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7087
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7088
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7089
7090
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7091
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7092
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7093
7094
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7095
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7096
7097
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7098
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7099
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7100
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7101
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7102
7103
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7104
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7105
7106
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7107
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7108
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7109
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7110
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7111
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7112
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7113
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7114
7115
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7116
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7117
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7118

7141
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7142
7143
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7144
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7145
and y.
7146
7147

7165
7166
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)

This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7178

7191
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)

7222
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7223
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7224
7225
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7226
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7227
(Martin Pool)
7228
7229
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7230
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7231
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7232
7233
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7234
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7235
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7236
7237
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7238
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7239
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7240
7241
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7242
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7243
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7244
7245
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7246
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7247
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7248
7249
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7250
instead. (Robert Collins)
7251
7252
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6976
-------------------
6977
6978
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6979
6980
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6981
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6982
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6983
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6984
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6985
will keep the same format.
6986
6987
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6988
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6989
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6990
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6991
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6992
6993
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6994
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6995
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6996
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6997
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6998
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6999
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7000
7001
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7002
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7003
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7004
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7005
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7006
7007
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7008
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7009
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7010
arrangement.
7011
7012
7013
IMPROVEMENTS:
7014
7015
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7016
convention. Paths now take the form::
7017
7018
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7019
or
7020
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7021
7022
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7023
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7024
7025
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7026
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7027
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7028
7029
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7030
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7031
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7032
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7033
7034
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7035
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7036
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7037
7038
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7039
7040
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7041
7042
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7043
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7044
commits::
7045
7046
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7047
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7048
| xargs bzr re-sign
7049
7050
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7051
7052
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7053
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7054
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7055
(Robert Collins)
7056
7057
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7058
7059
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7060
7061
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7062
'.moved'.
7063
7064
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7065
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7066
7067
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7068
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7069
Daniel Silverstone)
7070
7071
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7072
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7073
Martin Pool)
7074
7075
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7076
7077
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7078
7079
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7080
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7081
7082
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7083
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7084
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7085
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7086
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7087
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7088
7089
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7090
7091
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7092
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7093
(Robert Collins)
7094
7095
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7096
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7097
7098
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7099
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7100
7101
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7102
7103
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7104
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7105
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7106
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7107
specification by Martin Pool.
7108
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7109
7110
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7111
Belchenko)
7112
7113
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7114
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7115
7116
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7117
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7118
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7119
7120
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7121
7122
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7123
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7124
(Robert Collins)
7125
7126
CHANGES:
7127
7128
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7129
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7130
7131
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7132
7133
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7134
7135
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7136
(Olaf Conradi)
7137
7138
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7139
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7140
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7141
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7142
7143
INTERNALS:
7144
7145
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7146
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7147
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7148
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7149
7150
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7151
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7152
tried. (Martin Pool)
7153
7154
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7155
(Martin Pool)
7156
7157
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7158
7159
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7160
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7161
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7162
7163
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7164
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7165
7166
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7167
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7168
paths. (Robert Collins)
7169
7170
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7171
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7172
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7173
7174
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7175
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7176
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7177
7178
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7179
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7180
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7181
7182
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7183
(Olaf Conradi)
7184
7185
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7186
(Olaf Conradi)
7187
7188
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7189
7190
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7191
7192
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7193
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7194
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7195
(Robert Collins)
7196
7197
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7198
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7199
7200
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7201
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7202
check. (Robert Collins)
7203
7204
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7205
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7206
7207
TESTING:
7208
7209
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7210
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7211
7212
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7213
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7214
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7215
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7216
7217
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7218
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7219
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7220
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7221
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7222
7223
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7224
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7225
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7226
7227
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7228
7229
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7230
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

7392
7393
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7394
7395
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7396
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7397
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7398
(Robert Collins)
7399
7400
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7401
7402
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7403
7404
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7405
'.moved'.
7406
7407
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7408
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7409
7410
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7411
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7412
Daniel Silverstone)
7413
7414
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7415
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7416
Martin Pool)
7417
7418
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7419
7420
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7421
7422
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7423
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7424
7425
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7426
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7427
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7428
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7429
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7430
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7431
7432
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7433
7434
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7435
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7436
(Robert Collins)
7437
7438
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7439
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7440
7441
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7442
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7443
7444
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7445
7446
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7447
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7448
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7449
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7450
specification by Martin Pool.
7451
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7452
7453
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7454
Belchenko)
7455
7456
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7457
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7458
7459
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7460
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7461
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7462
7463
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7464
7465
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7466
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7467
(Robert Collins)
7468
7469
Changes
7470
*******
7471
7472
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7473
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7474
7475
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7476
7477
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7478
7479
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7480
(Olaf Conradi)
7481
7482
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7483
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7484
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7485
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7486
7487
Internals
7488
*********
7489
7490
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7491
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7492
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7493
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7494
7495
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7496
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7497
tried. (Martin Pool)
7498
7499
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7500
(Martin Pool)
7501
7502
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7503
7504
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7505
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7506
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7507
7508
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7509
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7510
7511
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7512
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7513
paths. (Robert Collins)
7514
7515
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7516
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7517
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7518
7519
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7520
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7521
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7522
7523
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7524
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7525
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7526
7527
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7528
(Olaf Conradi)
7529
7530
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7531
(Olaf Conradi)
7532
7533
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7534
7535
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7536
7537
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7538
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7539
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7540
(Robert Collins)
7541
7542
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7543
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7544
7545
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7546
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7547
check. (Robert Collins)
7548
7549
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7550
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7551
7552
Testing
7553
*******
7554
7555
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7556
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7557
7558
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7559
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7560
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7561
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7562
7563
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7564
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7565
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7566
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7567
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7568
7569
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7570
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7571
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7572
7573
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7574
7575
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7576
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
7233
------------------
7234
7235
CHANGES:
7236
7237
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7238
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7239
7240
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7241
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7242
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7243
(Johan Rydberg)
7244
7245
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7246
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7247
7248
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7249
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7250
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7251
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7252
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7253
7254
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7255
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7256
used. (Robert Collins)
7257
7258
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7259
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7260
(James Henstridge)
7261
7262
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7263
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7264
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7265
7266
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7267
ignore list.
7268
7269
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7270
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7271
7272
IMPROVEMENTS:
7273
7274
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7275
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7276
7277
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7278
7279
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7280
7281
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7282
tree. (Robert Collins)
7283
7284
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7285
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7286
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7287
(Robert Collins)
7288
7289
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7290
that they be kept.
7291
7292
* Tweaks to short log printing
7293
7294
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7295
(Aaron Bentley)
7296
7297
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7298
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7299
7300
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7301
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7302
7303
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7304
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7305
7306
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7307
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7308
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7309
7310
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7311
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7312
7313
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7314
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7315
requests.
7316
7317
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7318
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7319
7320
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7321
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7322
7323
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7324
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7325
7326
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7327
(Denys Duchier)
7328
7329
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7330
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7331
7332
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7333
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7334
7335
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7336
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7337
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7338
7339
BUG FIXES:
7340
7341
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7342
7343
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7344
7345
* Error when run with -OO
7346
7347
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7348
(Martin Pool)
7349
7350
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7351
7352
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7353
7354
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7355
ignored by diff and status
7356
7357
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7358
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7359
7360
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7361
7362
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7363
7364
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7365
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7366
7367
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7368
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7369
7370
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7371
(Harald Meland)
7372
7373
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7374
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7375
7376
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7377
7378
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7379
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7380
7381
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7382
(Martin Pool)
7383
7384
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7385
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7386
7387
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7388
7389
TESTING:
7390
7391
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7392
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7393
7394
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7395
7396
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7397
7398
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7399
7400
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7401
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7402
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7403
7404
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7405
7406
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7407
(John Arbash Meinel)
7408
7409
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7410
7411
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7412
If adding a new test script please add that to
7413
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7414
7415
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7416
imported. (Martin Pool)
7417
7418
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7419
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7420
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7421
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7422
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7423
(Robert Collins)
7424
7425
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7426
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7427
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7428
7429
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7430
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7431
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7432
7433
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7434
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7435
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7436
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7437
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7438
(Robert Collins).
7439
7440
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7441
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7442
(Robert Collins).
7443
7444
INTERNALS:
7445
7446
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7447
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7448
7449
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7450
function. (Robert Collins)
7451
7452
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7453
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7454
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7455
7456
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7457
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7458
(Robert Collins)
7459
7460
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7461
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7462
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7463
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7464
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7465
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7466
version. (Robert Collins)
7467
7468
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7469
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7470
7471
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7472
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7473
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7474
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7475
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7476
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7477
7478
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7479
(Robert Collins)
7480
7481
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7482
7483
add()
7484
commit()
7485
move()
7486
rename_one()
7487
unknowns()
7488
7489
(Robert Collins)
7490
7491
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7492
7493
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7494
7495
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7496
Pool)
7497
7498
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7499
query method. (Robert Collins)
7500
7501
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7502
(Denys Duchier)
7503
7504
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7505
(Michael Ellerman)
7506
7507
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7508
(Michael Ellerman)
7509
7510
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7511
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7512
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7513
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7514
7515
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7516
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7517
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7518
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7519
7520
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7521
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

Changes
7582
*******
7583
7584
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7585
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7586
7587
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7588
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7589
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7590
(Johan Rydberg)
7591
7592
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7593
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7594
7595
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7596
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7597
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7598
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7599
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7600
7601
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7602
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7603
used. (Robert Collins)
7604
7605
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7606
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7607
(James Henstridge)
7608
7609
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7610
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7611
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7612
7613
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7614
ignore list.
7615
7616
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7617
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7618
7619
Improvements
7620
************
7621
7622
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7623
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7624
7625
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7626
7627
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7628
7629
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7630
tree. (Robert Collins)
7631
7632
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7633
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7634
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7635
(Robert Collins)
7636
7637
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7638
that they be kept.
7639
7640
* Tweaks to short log printing
7641
7642
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7643
(Aaron Bentley)
7644
7645
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7646
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7647
7648
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7649
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7650
7651
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7652
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7653
7654
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7655
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7656
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7657
7658
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7659
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7660
7661
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7662
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7663
requests.
7664
7665
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7666
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7667
7668
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7669
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7670
7671
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7672
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7673
7674
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7675
(Denys Duchier)
7676
7677
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7678
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7679
7680
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7681
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7682
7683
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7684
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7685
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7686
7687
Bug Fixes
7688
*********
7689
7690
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7691
7692
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7693
7694
* Error when run with -OO
7695
7696
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7697
(Martin Pool)
7698
7699
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7700
7701
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7702
7703
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7704
ignored by diff and status
7705
7706
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7707
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7708
7709
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7710
7711
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7712
7713
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7714
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7715
7716
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7717
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7718
7719
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7720
(Harald Meland)
7721
7722
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7723
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7724
7725
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7726
7727
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7728
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7729
7730
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7731
(Martin Pool)
7732
7733
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7734
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7735
7736
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7737
7738
Testing
7739
*******
7740
7741
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7742
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7743
7744
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7745
7746
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7747
7748
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7749
7750
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7751
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7752
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7753
7754
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7755
7756
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7757
(John Arbash Meinel)
7758
7759
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7760
7761
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7762
If adding a new test script please add that to
7763
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7764
7765
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7766
imported. (Martin Pool)
7767
7768
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7769
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7770
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7771
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7772
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7773
(Robert Collins)
7774
7775
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7776
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7777
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7778
7779
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7780
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7781
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7782
7783
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7784
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7785
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7786
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7787
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7788
(Robert Collins).
7789
7790
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7791
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7792
(Robert Collins).
7793
7794
Internals
7795
*********
7796
7797
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7798
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7799
7800
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7801
function. (Robert Collins)
7802
7803
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7804
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7805
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7806
7807
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7808
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7809
(Robert Collins)
7810
7811
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7812
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7813
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7814
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7815
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7816
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7817
version. (Robert Collins)
7818
7819
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7820
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7821
7822
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7823
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7824
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7825
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7826
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7827
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7828
7829
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7830
(Robert Collins)
7831
7832
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7833
7834
add()
7835
commit()
7836
move()
7837
rename_one()
7838
unknowns()
7839
7840
(Robert Collins)
7841
7842
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7843
7844
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7845
7846
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7847
Pool)
7848
7849
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7850
query method. (Robert Collins)
7851
7852
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7853
(Denys Duchier)
7854
7855
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7856
(Michael Ellerman)
7857
7858
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7859
(Michael Ellerman)
7860
7861
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7862
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7863
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7864
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7865
7866
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7867
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7868
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7869
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7870
7871
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7872
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

7524
------------------
7525
7526
IMPROVEMENTS:
7527
7528
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7529
(John A Meinel)
7530
7531
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7532
conflicts.
7533
(Aaron Bentley)
7534
7535
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7536
a separator, not ':'.
7537
(Aaron Bentley)
7538
7539
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7540
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7541
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7542
7543
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7544
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7545
(Robert Collins)
7546
7547
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7548
has been added that suppresses all output.
7549
7550
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7551
Adams.
7552
7553
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7554
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7555
7556
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7557
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7558
7559
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7560
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7561
7562
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7563
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7564
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7565
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7566
7567
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7568
7569
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7570
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7571
7572
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7573
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7574
7575
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7576
output directory, if one was supplied.
7577
7578
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7579
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7580
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7581
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7582
7583
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7584
7585
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7586
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7587
7588
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7589
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7590
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7591
7592
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7593
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7594
7595
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7596
(Aaron Bentley)
7597
7598
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7599
7600
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7601
7602
TESTING:
7603
7604
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7605
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7606
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7607
7608
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7609
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7610
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7611
7612
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7613
is given. (Martin Pool)
7614
7615
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7616
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7617
file. (Robert Collins)
7618
7619
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7620
(Martin Pool)
7621
7622
INTERNALS:
7623
7624
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7625
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7626
representation. (Martin Pool).
7627
7628
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7629
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7630
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7631
7632
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7633
(Robert Collins)
7634
7635
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7636
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7637
Magnus Therning.
7638
7639
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7640
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7641
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7642
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7643
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7644
7645
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7646
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7647
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7648
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7649
python path. (Robert Collins)
7650
7651
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7652
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7653
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7654
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7655
7656
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7657
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7658
7659
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7660
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7661
(Robert Collins)
7662
7663
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7664
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7665
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7666
7667
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7668
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7669
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7670
7671
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7672
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7673
7674
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7675
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7676
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7677
(Robert Collins)
7678
7679
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7680
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7681
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7682
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7683
(Robert Collins)
7684
7685
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7686
(Robert Collins)
7687
7688
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7689
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7690
(Robert Collins)
7691
7692
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7693
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7694
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7695
7696
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7697
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7698
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7699
7700
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7701
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7702
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7703
7704
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7705
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7706
7707
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7708
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7709
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7710
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7711
caller. (Robert Collins)
7712
7713

7714
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7715
(Robert Collins).
7716
7717

7718

7719
(Aaron Bentley)
7720
7721
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7722
7723
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7724
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7725
7726
BUG FIXES:
7727

Improvements
7878
************
7879
7880
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7881
(John A Meinel)
7882
7883
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7884
conflicts.
7885
(Aaron Bentley)
7886
7887
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7888
a separator, not ':'.
7889
(Aaron Bentley)
7890
7891
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7892
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7893
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7894
7895
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7896
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7897
(Robert Collins)
7898
7899
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7900
has been added that suppresses all output.
7901
7902
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7903
Adams.
7904
7905
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7906
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7907
7908
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7909
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7910
7911
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7912
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7913
7914
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7915
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7916
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7917
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7918
7919
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7920
7921
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7922
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7923
7924
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7925
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7926
7927
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7928
output directory, if one was supplied.
7929
7930
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7931
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7932
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7933
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7934
7935
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7936
7937
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7938
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7939
7940
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7941
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7942
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7943
7944
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7945
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7946
7947
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7948
(Aaron Bentley)
7949
7950
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7951
7952
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7953
7954
Testing
7955
*******
7956
7957
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7958
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7959
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7960
7961
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7962
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7963
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7964
7965
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7966
is given. (Martin Pool)
7967
7968
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7969
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7970
file. (Robert Collins)
7971
7972
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7973
(Martin Pool)
7974
7975
Internals
7976
*********
7977
7978
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7979
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7980
representation. (Martin Pool).
7981
7982
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7983
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7984
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7985
7986
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7987
(Robert Collins)
7988
7989
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7990
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7991
Magnus Therning.
7992
7993
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7994
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7995
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7996
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7997
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7998
7999
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8000
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8001
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8002
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8003
python path. (Robert Collins)
8004
8005
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8006
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8007
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8008
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8009
8010
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8011
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8012
8013
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8014
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8015
(Robert Collins)
8016
8017
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8018
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8019
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8020
8021
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8022
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8023
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8024
8025
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8026
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8027
8028
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8029
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8030
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8031
(Robert Collins)
8032
8033
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8034
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8035
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8036
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8037
(Robert Collins)
8038
8039
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8040
(Robert Collins)
8041
8042
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8043
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8044
(Robert Collins)
8045
8046
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8047
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8048
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8049
8050
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8051
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8052
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8053
8054
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8055
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8056
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8057
8058
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8059
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8060
8061
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8062
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8063
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8064
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8065
caller. (Robert Collins)
8066
8067
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8068
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8069
(Robert Collins).

8072
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8073
(Aaron Bentley)
8074
8075

8076
8077
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),

* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7767

7768
7769
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7770

7772
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

7779
7780
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its

7798
IMPROVEMENTS:
7799
7800
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7801
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7802
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7803
7804
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7805
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7806
'bzr upgrade'.
7807
7808
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by

Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7810
7811
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo

7819
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7820
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7821
7822
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.

7824
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7825
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by

INTERNALS:
7837
7838
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7839
for your viewing pleasure.
7840
7841
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7842
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7843
7844
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7845
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7846
handling of such circumstances.
7847
7848
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7849
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7850
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7851
7852
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7853
7854
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7855
we call them revisions not patches.
7856
7857
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7858
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7859
7860
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7861
giving the revision *of that file*.
7862
7863
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7864
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7865
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7866
7867
TESTING:
7868
7869
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7870
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7871
7872
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7873
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8219
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8220
8221
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8222
giving the revision *of that file*.
8223
8224
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8225
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8226
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.

8230
8231
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8232
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8233
8234
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8235
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

7897
7898
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7899
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.

7923

7932
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7933
for the operating system is still tried.
7934
7935
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7936
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7937
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8051
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)

plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8055
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8056
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8057
standard plugins directory.
8058
8059
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8060
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8061
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8062

``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.

no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.

8080

CHANGES:
8098
8099
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8100
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8101
8102
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8103
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8104
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8105
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8106
8107
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8108
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8109
with the ``--forward`` option.
8110
8111
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8112
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8113
field.
8114
8115
8116
ENHANCEMENTS:

8118
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8119

8120
8121
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8122
8123
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8124
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8125
8126
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8127
8128
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8129
either read or write mode.

8134
affected that file.
8135

* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8137

* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8139
suggested by LarstiQ.
8140
8141
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8142
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8143
8144
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8145
a filename.
8146
8147
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8148
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8149
8150
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8151
haven't changed since the previous time.
8152
8153
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8154
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8155

range; contributed by John A Meinel.

* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8164
options through to an external GNU diff.
8165
8166
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8167
their contents.

8170
from a branch.

8184
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8185
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8186
the tests.
8187
8188
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8189
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8190
8191
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8192
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8193
8194
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8195
under a different version.
8196
8197

8209
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8210
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8211
8212
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8213
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.

Changes
8476
*******
8477
8478
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8479
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8480
8481
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8482
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8483
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8484
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8485
8486
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8487
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8488
with the ``--forward`` option.
8489
8490
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8491
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8492
field.
8493
8494
8495
Enhancements
8496
************
8497
8498
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8499
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8500
8501
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8502
8503
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8504
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8505
8506
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8507
8508
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8509
either read or write mode.
8510
8511
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8512
8513
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
8514
affected that file.
8515
8516
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8517
8518
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8519
suggested by LarstiQ.
8520
8521
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8522
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8523
8524
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8525
a filename.
8526
8527
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8528
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8529
8530
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8531
haven't changed since the previous time.
8532
8533
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8534
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8535
8536
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8537
8538
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8539
8540
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8541
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8542
8543
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8544
options through to an external GNU diff.
8545
8546
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8547
their contents.
8548
8549
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8550
from a branch.
8551
8552
8553
Bug Fixes
8554

8560
metacharacters.

8254
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
8255
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
